2.35pm £19,000 Coral App
Download From The App Store Handicap, 1m 2f, Polytrack
There was a thrilling
finish to the 10-furlong Coral App Download From The App Store Handicap, with
the Richard Fahey-trained Spirit Of The Law (14/1), ridden by apprentice George
Chaloner, holding on by a nose from Lowther (16/1). The 3/1 favourite Marshgate
Lane finished third of the 10 runners, a length and a quarter behind the
second.
The main race of the day
at Lingfield Park, with prize money of £19,000, was run in a time of 2m 2.58s.
Fahey commented:
"Spirit Of The Law has had a long Flat season and this was his third win
of the year. I had planned to give him a break after today's run but we will
see.
"The new All-Weather
Championships seem to be generating some bit of excitement. I would like to
think I would have a runner on All-Weather Championships Finals Day on Good
Friday but it has all been a bit of rush this season and we will be better
organised next time around."
Spirit Of The Law was the
164th British winner of the year for the North Yorkshire trainer while Chaloner
needs just one more success to reduce his apprentice claim from 5lb to 3lb.
Mull Of Killough May Go
For Coral Winter Derby
Newmarket-based trainer
Jane Chapple-Hyam, successful at Lingfield Park today with the Ted
Durcan-ridden Jungle Bay in the Compare Bookmakers At bookmakers.co.uk Handicap
(1.30pm), revealed afterwards that her stable star, Mull Of Killough, could
race in the Group Three Coral Winter Derby on March 22 at Lingfield Park.
Last time out, Mull Of
Killough finished a close fourth in a blanket finish to the Group One Emirates
Stakes over a mile at Flemington, Australia, on November 9.
Chapple-Hyam said:
"He ran well and is back home now - he is turned out today and has a good
hour on the walker in the mornings.
"He will either come
here for the Winter Derby or go for the Earl Of Sefton (at Newmarket in April).
"Mull Of Killough
finished fifth in the Singapore Cup and went to Chicago for the Arlington
Million so he got a lot of air miles this year.
"He is turning eight
so we have got to look after him and pick his races, but he is thriving."
There will be more
coverage of the All-Weather Championships from Kempton Park this evening.
