Rio Ronaldo 3rd at Leicester

Rio Ronaldo ran with credit when 3rd at Leicester on Wednesday evening. Having only the second start of his career he was quickly into the bridle and although a little keen he settled well enough in behind the pace. It looked at the 2f marker as if he could win the race but jockey, Shane Kelly, said he was still weak and not able to pick up as one might have expected. He should come on for this run and we will look for another maiden for him in the next few weeks. He is a very good looking horse who should make up into a very nice 3yo.
The photo shows him in the Parade ring and he looked the pick of the paddock.
