Hat Trick Hero.

Kingscombe completed a hat trick today (12/3/2014) at Southwell when winning a 1 mile 6 furlong handicap, on his beloved fibresand surface.  Up against the horse he had beaten last time, but six pounds worse off for the neck he had won by, the betting suggested that the outcome would be reversed.  Rab Havlin jumped him out to take a position just behind, and to the outside of, one of the outsiders who led.  The pace was nothing more than steady and the four runners were still in a bunch turning for home.  Here Rab asked Kingscombe to go on and take the lead, which he did pursued by his rival from the previous time.  Despite the turn round in the weights Kingscombe would not give up the lead and went on to win more easily this time by 1 and a quarter lengths.
