Slowly but surely
Robin Oakley surveys The Turf
The talented but wayward Max One Two Three, owned by Andrew Black and considered good enough for a 1,000 Guineas entry, is another potential star when they can settle her. ‘She’s a lovely filly. But she’s also bonkers, a bit of a spoilt cow.’
Another stable talent could be 7lb-claiming apprentice Ross Atkinson who has come from Gary Moore’s. I noted him riding a cool race from the front at Newbury recently to win on Clifton Dancer for Dascombe, who says of his new recruit: ‘As a jockey you can over time build on your strength. But he has also got a clock in his head, and if you haven’t got that you’ll never build it in.’
Tom Dascombe’s is not a betting yard. ‘I don’t bet because I can’t afford to lose.’ But it could be worth a few bob on him to meet the next target he has set.
