In something of a ‘Hotel California’ moment, Hannah Lewis saddled her first winner since returning to the training ranks this Spring after Malinas Glory triumphed in the Jockey Club 0-110 Rated Series qualifier at Paxford on Easter Monday.
Lewis did not wish to be drawn on the reasoning behind her walking away from the sport as a rider and latterly a trainer except to say: “Let’s just say i took a year’s sabbatical from the game but I am back now.”
And in the shape of Malinas Glory, she has a horse that may well take her to new heights as a trainer with the plan now being to aim the nine-year-old at the final of the 0-110 Series due to be staged at Warwick next month.
Despite a tendency to jump left at some of his fences, the winner still had enough left in the locker to thwart the late rally of odds-on favourite Inchidaly Robin by a head under Heidi Palin.
Lewis reported: “The horse was bought by his owner Martin Oliver in Ireland and the long term target was always to end up in the Warwick race – that is likely to be his next appearance.”
There was plenty of money in the betting ring for Kelly Morgan’s On Lovers Walk (backed from 5-2 down to Evens favourite) before the PPORA Five Years And Over Restricted contest and the plunge was landed in ready style by the nine-year-old.
Winning rider Meisha Micklewright: “It’s quite a long way to come from Kelly’s base in Leicestershire and this is only the second time I have been to the course but it’s a nice even gallop and the horse enjoyed that decent ground
“The reasoning behind making the 150 mile round trip was the distance of the race – pure and simple. The two-and-a-half miles is perfect for him as he might just struggle to see out three miles based on what he did in Ireland.”
The Morgan raiding party added to those gains after Go Go Geronimo landed the concluding Veteran Horse Conditions Race in the hands of Tom Chatfeild-Roberts after the pair held off the late attentions of the James King-partnered favourite Lavorante.
However, King had enjoyed better fortune earlier on the card as he took the first three races of the day with a hat-trick aboard Alaphilippe, Jasmin Des Blins and Kilfilum Woods.
The Angela Slatter-trained Alaphilippe had dead-heated at Didmarton but landed the spoils outright in style on this occasion when steadily stretching 15 lengths clear of Best Mate Dave for the Members Race.
Slatter said of the 12-year-old: “Last year we took him to the Cheltenham Hunter Chase evening but he was never happy there so we decided this season to stay pointing. He may have one more run as long as the ground does not get too quick.”
Jasmin Des Blins consented to put his best foot forward in the Five Years And Over Maiden and the 7-4 favourite had enough in reserve through the closing stages to fend off the rally of runner-up Alderley Billy by two-and-a-half lengths.
Trainer Francesca Poste’s husband Charlie commented: “The horse is a bit of a monkey as he has his own ideas about things and proved very disappointing when well beaten at Siddington last time.”
Poste made it a brace on the afternoon when stable stalwart Kilfilum Woods overcame an error three fences from home to lift the Mixed Open. There was 11 lengths between him and second placed As Tears Go By where it mattered.
The trainer’s husband said: “He has won seven of his 15 races since joining the yard and we could obviously do with a few more like him. James has a 33 per cent strike rate for us and was very positive in the saddle which is the way to ride the horse.”
