YOUNG JOHN - 2nd at Pontefract

Young John ran a fine race in defeat at Pontefract last week. The race was run at a good pace on ground with give in it and both of these factors helped the horse. He came with a good run turning for home and was very game but found the winner too good for him.
He was due to race at Salisbury yesterday but the meeting was abandoned and we will look for other opportunities on easy ground for him.
