Red Giant Makes It Two In A Row

with No Comments

Following his recent win at Market Rasen, RED GIANT was able to defy a 10lb rise in the handicap with another clear-cut display at Bangor last night. The three-mile handicap chase was run at a sound gallop, which suited him, and after going two lengths clear at the last he ran on strongly on the run-in, allowing Sean Quinlan to ease him near the finish to win by a comfortable 7 lengths. That was his third success since joining the yard and he seems to have responded to having a visor on lately. Hopefully there will be another opportunity soon to go for three-in-a-row before the handicapper goes mad! Well done to Sean and owner Mr V Healy!

Red Giant Dwarfs The Opposition!

RED GIANT was always up with the pace and strode clear to win the Fishingadviser Events Handicap Chase in convincing style at Market Rasen yesterday. He took the lead at the 13th, and went clear approaching three out, staying on well to win by 11 lengths. He thoroughly deserved this success, which made up slightly for losing out on a win late last year when first he was past the post in a race at Perth which was controversially declared void due to a fallen runner. We tried a change of headgear today to help keep him focused after he unshipped Sean last time out, and it had the desired effect. Many congratulations to owner V Healy and jockey Sean Quinlan!
