Another Solid Run

Red Anchor ran another pleasing race at Fontwell this evening.  With the ground drying out it may well have been his last race before a summer break.  Ridden by Thomas Garner he started near the rear of the field but was moved up after four fences to a mid division position.  He was in the leading pair on the second circuit and led going out for the final time.  He went a couple of lengths clear going down the hill, but his forte is galloping not a sprint finish, and on the quicker ground he was not able to hold off all the challengers though he stayed on to the line.  He eventually finished a creditable third which pleased his connections greatly.
