Scarborough Races (Derwent) held the first of two meetings at Charm Park, the weather having finally begun to improve, and great credit goes to the organisers for producing the course and ground to a high standard. Charm Park is a well-draining track on sandy land, although with recent downpours it was surprising to see such good ground. Will Easterby and Jack Teal were both in flying form on the day – Will trained a double and rode a treble, whilst Jack trained and rode a double.
Will took the opening Hunt Conditions race, for horses that have been hunting at least four times this season, aboard Panthers Creek (pictured). The winner has turned a corner since the application of blinkers, making it two wins in eight days after scoring in the Restricted at Sinnington. The pair made all the running here and stayed on stoutly from two out to win well. “We took him hunting yesterday to qualify for this race!” said Will, and it appeared to have no ill-effects on him. The Irish import will now head to the Hurworth meeting in two weeks’ time. “He’s owned by Nigel Jones, we auctioned a lease in him for the season at our Hunt Ball,” said Will. Second went to Phil Greaves on Neville Woods, who was returning to something like his old form, whilst Super Lunar ran on well at the end to finish third and should be one to note next time.
Will’s second winner came in the Mixed Open, and saw a fantastic battle between Black River, Dark Mahler and the short-priced Carter McKay. However, it would be Easterby and the game Black River who fought back over the last to collar the leading pair near the line. Dark Mahler and Joe Wright were second, with the highly touted Carter McKay and Tommie O’Brien third. Black River is going from strength to strength at the age of 11 and could take in another race before his big tilt at the Grimthorpe Gold Cup.
Will continued his good run of form in the last race of the day, the second division of the Open Maiden. However, this time it would be Lottie Crane doing the training as Caviar d’Allen romped to victory by 60 lengths. The pair made all and powered on from three out to win very easily. Usually partnered by his trainer, Lottie is currently on the sidelines with a broken ankle but is eager to get back riding. “We always thought a lot of him by his work and he ran well last season,” said Lottie. “Last year was a big learning curve with the new gallop and training from somewhere new, so we’ve done a lot more with him this year.” Miss Charlton and Will Milburn just got the better of Cool Desire and Jack Andrews in the placings.
Jack Teal was on the scoresheet with a riding and training double, firstly in the hotly contested Restricted. Dynamite Kentucky was sent off favourite and challenged Lucky Hit (Huw Edwards) approaching the second-last and just got on top by a neck close home. That would be Jack’s fifth training success this season and a second victory for the winner, who scored on his British debut at Alnwick and was only narrowly beaten last time. Classic Lady was outpaced at the finish and came home in third under Tommie O’Brien.
Jack’s second winner came on Burrenbridge Hotel in the 2m 4f Conditions race. There were three in line jumping the last, but the winner stayed on strongly down the outside to get up close home and win by a length-and-a-half. A three-time winner under Rules for Henry Oliver, where he was mainly campaigned over two miles, he stayed on well over this slightly longer trip and the test will be stepping up to three miles. He was bought by his owner Paul Clifton after been sourced by successful bloodstock agent Mark Gichero. Former Gigginstown inmate Monbeg Chit Chat was putting up an improved performance to finish second for Christy Furness, whilst West Torr and Ross Wilson were third.
In the Veteran Conditions race, Six A Side was another to make it two wins in eight days when he doubled up on his victory at Duncombe Park, but it was far from straightforward. A frantic early pace saw five of the eight runners depart on the way around, leaving Will Millburn’s charge left clear six out. “It didn’t really go to plan…the idea was to lead after the last!”, said Will. “He used to need time between his races but he’s started to relax more the last couple of seasons…he’ll have a little break and go to Askham now.” Will survived a near-race-ending blunder at the second-last but rallied to beat Young Hurricane and Joe Wright, whilst Mickey Miller and John Dawson were well back in third.
Franks Fancy, piloted by Jack Andrews and trained by Susan Grant, took the first division of the Open Maiden. This five-year-old son of Stowaway stayed on strongly to beat Master Thyne and Will Easterby. The winning pilot wasn’t short of praise for his mount. “He’s progressive and still building on his jumping, but he’ll improve ten times over!”, he enthused. “When he furnishes out, he could be something special”. No doubt he is one to follow in the future.
