Global Giant stands tallest in Steventon field
Listed success for progressive Gosden five-year-old.
Global Giant resumed his progression to gain the most notable success of his career in the bet365 Steventon Stakes at Newbury.
After meeting trouble in running on his last start at Sandown, the five-year-old son of Shamardal gained compensation in the Listed prize to make two wins from three outings since joining John Gosden from Ed Dunlop. Although Frankie Dettori was forced to commit the the 2-1 favourite sooner than he wanted, it failed to prevent the pair from prevailing by a length from the staying-on Extra Elusive. Thady Gosden, assistant to his father, said: “He got stuck on the inside at Sandown and the race suddenly went away from him and by the time he pulled him out they had already gone. That day nothing was coming from behind and Sandown is usually a front-runners track.Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
