Claude Close Again

Claude Greenwood again came close to winning  when finishing as runner up at Chelmsford City today, in the apprentice handicap, ridden by Kevin Lundie.  From the gate he was driven up to a prominent position then encountered a little interference approaching the first turn.  He remained well positioned and led turning into the home straight.  In a battle to the line he was just touched off into second place by a neck.  To add insult to injury the horse that beat him was Mishrif, the horse Linda leased and took to St. Moritz to finish thirds there.
