Benandonner 1st

Benandonner recorded his second victory in a week by winning at Carlisle yesterday. The photograph above shows him in the winning enclosure with Laura and Julie Stitch (friends from the Lake District) and Heidi Cullinan.
The ground was plenty quick enough at Carlisle and as such they didn't go a gallop early on in the race. He was blocked in for a while but Robert Winston got him out early enough for him to battle and get his head in front with a few strides to go. We will look for similar opportunities for him in the next few weeks.
