Almost The Hat Trick.

Breden came very close to making it three wins in a row when he finished second in a Class 2 handicap over a mile at Lingfield yesterday under top weight.  Whether by design or circumstances Robert Winston found himself at the rear of the six runner field in the first furlong.  He had to sit there until the finishing straight where he hoped a gap would appear.  Unfortunately one lightly weighted horse (Breden was giving him almost 2 stone) was already making the best of his way home and though Breden was able to reel the others in he could never get on terms with the leader who held him by a length at the line.
