Row lives up to early promise in Doncaster
05/11/2005 - 13:16:52Marlborough trainer Richard Hannon made it 137 for the year when Ordnance Row confirmed earlier promise with victory in the Sands Venue Nursery in Doncaster.
Ryan Moore sent the 8-1 shot clear on the far side over a furlong out and despite tiring in the closing stages, he held on to land the spoils by two lengths from London Express.
“He got a bit tired going to the line but he’s taken a bit of time to come to himself,” said Richard Hannon junior.
“He’s been a bit unlucky a couple of times bumping into nice horses. Last time he bumped into that one of Michael Jarvis’s (Shelhom) and that looks like being a Guineas horse. He needs a winter under him and then he’ll be a nice horse next year.”
