EVERYONE'S A WINNER
Following on from his four winners in four days (Elegant Times,
Della Salute, La Demoiselle and Cusoon) Dansili's purple patch was prolonged
as Illustrious Blue and Asque brought home the honours in
England and France on Thursday, with Illustrious Blue scoring on
debut for his new trainer William Knight.
This winning streak was the theme of the day as the Bamford
owned and bred Ermine Sea (Rainbow Quest), half brother to
the smart, Paul Cole trained Revere, followed
up his impressive third in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot to
take a three year old maiden at Newbury in facile fashion.
Observatory's flag
was also flying when Billich showed further improvement
with a step up in trip to whisk away another three-year-old maiden
for the Juddmonte roster at Yarmouth.
