Brunch bags Pomfret prize at Pontefract
Listed honours go to Michael Dods’ runner.
Brunch finished with a flourish to claim top honours in the Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Pomfret Stakes at Pontefract. A field of six runners went to post for the Listed feature in West Yorkshire, with Sir Michael Stoute’s Regal Reality – not beaten far when third behind superstar mare Enable in the Coral-Eclipse two years ago – the even-money favourite to make the most of a drop in class. The Michael Dods-trained Brunch was next in the betting at 7-4, having filled the runner-up spot in the Lincoln earlier in the campaign and finished seventh on his most recent appearance in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot. With the first two in the market held up for late runs, the front-running Azano still had a couple of lengths in hand rounding the home turn before being strongly challenged by stablemate Rhoscolyn.Brunch takes the our feature Listed @SkyBet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Pomfret Stakes in Style!
