The Turf
Horizontal racing
At Nottingham, another four-year-old went into my notebook. Ed McMahon’s Cartimandua ran in last season’s 1,000 Guineas but was sidelined with a chipped knee after winning a Listed race at Haydock last June. Her trainer says that the filly, who was injured as a two-year-old as well, suffers from having a colt’s bulk and muscle on a filly’s frame. He was not sure she was ready for her race last Saturday but she came home well in the hands of Graham Gibbons, holding off a late challenge from the favourite Crystany. She looks a potential sprinting star.
And finally a note on the English-based Irish jockey Cathy Gannon. One of several good girls riding at the moment, she had a long injury break last year but impressed with her Haydock victory on Harbour Blues. Snap up a few of her long-priced winners before she becomes fashionable.
