Billy Loughnane shines again with Pontefract double
Teenager still riding high after hitting the headlines at Royal Ascot.
Fresh from opening his Royal Ascot account, Billy Loughnane began the new month in the best possible fashion with a double at Pontefract Simon and Ed Crisford’s Magnum Opus, who had been off since April having disappointed on his handicap debut at Sandown, got the ball rolling, looking a different proposition in the bettingsites.co.uk Betting Sites Handicap. With odds-on favourite Old Cock among the first beaten, Loughnane brought the 18-1 chance through with a smooth challenge to win going away by three lengths from Tele Red. He later took the Wayne Conway Memorial Handicap on Roger Fell and Sean Murray’s Coloane (7-1). For Loughnane, 18, it is all about keeping the momentum going after his wins on Rashabar and Soprano at the big meeting.Magnum Opus wins readily for the @gainsboroughHQ team under a confident @loughnane_billy ride to land the https://t.co/WTe4xs2xbK Betting Sites Handicap 🏆 pic.twitter.com/PzvOWzQsCe
