RIO RONALDO - 3rd at Windsor

Rio Ronaldo ran very well at Windsor on Monday afternoon, in a race which didn't suit his running style, to record a 3rd place position. The ground conditions were Good to Soft but the jockeys reported the ground was "proper soft" which didn't suit Rio. However, we let him take his chance as he likes the style of running at the track where fields tend to go quick in order to get a position on the rail. Rio jumped well from the stalls and James Doyle took a pull to get cover. However, on this occassion there was no pace in the race and the winner took the initiative and set good fractions to win from the front.
Rio ran on well to take 3rd spot and we were pleased with his performance. The photo shows Rio with his lad, Kumbh Singh, in the Winner's Enclosure watched on by some of the connections (Dennis Cooper, Jenny Spooner, Bill Lemon and Sandra Cobby).
