Itoldyou won his first race under rules today in a 3 mile 2 furlong handicap chase at Plumpton.
Ridden by Andrew Thornton, he was allowed to travel at the rear of the 4 horse field for the first two circuits so that he didn't know that he was having a race. He took closer order going into the railway bend for the final time, then took his chance when a gap opened up on the inside rail entering the home straight. He hit the front two fences from home and never looked in trouble from there on. A good jump at the last sealed it for him and all the backers who had made him the 7/4 favourite for the race.
