Art Power returning to scene of finest hour
Champions Sprint assignment for Royal Ascot victor.
Tim Easterby is eyeing a return to Ascot for his star sprinter Art Power. The grey son of Dark Angel looked every inch a top-class sprinter in the making when dominating his rivals in handicap company at the Royal meeting in June – his fourth win from his first five starts. He finished a disappointing sixth when well fancied for the Nunthorpe at York last month, but shaped better when fourth in the Sprint Cup at Haydock on his latest appearance.
Easterby said: “He’s in good shape – he came out of Haydock well. “I was very happy with how he ran at Haydock and it will be Ascot next for him, all being well. “He’ll be a better horse next year as he’s still got some strengthening up to do.”
