Slimmed-down-debutant-rider Harry Coleby went on a crash-diet losing seven stone but his new regime paid off handsomely when Little Peter proved to be his first winner from as many rides with victory in the Novice Riders (Level 2) contest.
Coleby was in no hurry aboard the John Berry-trained eight-year-old on the final circuit as Torigni led the way but the pairing made stealthy headway approaching the home bend before asserting and slamming that rival by four lengths.
Newmarket-based Berry is much better known for his exploits on the Flat and was clearly overjoyed that he had provided the rider with his first ever success in the saddle.
The trainer commented: “Harry is a chiropractor by trade and the best back-man in the game. I have known him for years and I was very keen to find something for him to ride in his quest for a winner in the pointing field
“He was so serious about getting down to a racing weight that he has lost over seven stone in the process and had been riding out for Bradley Gibbs, who has been a great help to him.”
Berry added: “As for this horse I own him myself and he seemed an ideal mount for Harry – he has come back and said he really enjoyed himself so I guess we will be having a look at the programme book trying to find another race
The aforementioned Gibbs also found himself on the scoresheet after saddling Avichi In The Park, who defied an absence from racecourse duty of 15 months with a handsome success in the 2m 4f Maiden under Edward Vaughan.
Explaining the time-off, Gibbs said: “He has not been the luckiest horse as he keeps getting little niggles but has grown up a lot in the last year or more and is a lot more relaxed and professional than he was
“He was ready to run back in January but got a knock and that meant he could not run. However, he has just proved he has plenty of ability and will hopefully be out again in the near future.”
What’s Up Harry was sent off 1-2 favourite for the opening Members contest and those who had taken the short odds never really had any worries as Amber Jackson-Fennell kept it simple and scored by eight lengths over market rival Designer Destiny.
She said: “He doesn’t need to make the running but he had little choice in the end. He wants quick ground and the watered surface did not really play to his strengths but he has coped with it in the circumstances.”
Jackson-Fennell had high hopes of doubling up on Camino Rocio in a match for the Ladies Open but Molly Legg and Tigerbythetail had obviously not read the script and eventually thumped their sole rival by 15 lengths.
