Another Pattern Win For Gosden In the Horris Hill

Updated: October 24, 2015 at 11:02 am

At the end of a British flat season which has been replete with success in the right races for the John Gosden stable, Crazy Horse added another to the stable’s enviable tally when prevailing with a last-gasp effort in the silks of the trainer’s wife Rachel Hood. Last early after missing the break, the bay who had also got up late to belie greenness on debut over this trip at Newmarket Sept. 25 was delivered with his finishing effort stand’s side by Robert Havlin as Start Time was committed on the front end with a quarter mile remaining. Gradually gaining ground as that rival wandered left and then right to cause him interference inside the last 150 yards, he was hardly checked in his momentum and thrust his head in front in the shade of the post as the far-side protagonist Return of the Mak made up a thrilling three-way photo.
