Baron Du Brizais, who won Britain’s first race in the GB Pointing Bonus Young Horse Maiden Series, made a promising debut under rules at Uttoxeter yesterday.
Tackling a two-mile bumper for his new trainer, Ben Pauling, the five-year-old was prominent throughout and then led as the final bend unfurled, but was eventually worn down by Moore Brion, who was following up victory in a similar race at Market Rasen in November. The winner was ridden by Sean Bowen, and in a one-two-three for Welsh jockeys his brother James rode third-placed Cowboy Casanova while Ben Jones rode Baron Du Brizais.
The last-named made a winning start to his racing career when successful at Lower Machen in South Wales on the opening day of the British point-to-point season when handled by Luca Morgan and owned by his partner, Paige Topley. They then sent the gelding to Goffs’ Coral Gold Cup Sale (pictured above) at Newbury where he was knocked down to Pauling and bloodstock agent Jerry McGrath for £90,000.
