Rose blooms as Tizzard returns to winning ways at Wincanton
Promising mare digs deep to provide Dorset yard with welcome victory.
Colin Tizzard’s underwhelming season showed chrysalis-like signs of a much-needed late blossom with Rose Of Arcadia’s triumph in the EBF Mares’ ‘National Hunt’ Novices’ Hurdle at Wincanton. Tizzard and his son and assistant Joe have seen several of their team run into the money over the past month, but were still without a victory since December. Rose Of Arcadia, sent off the 5-6 favourite, put that right with a narrow success – which may yet be a portent of better to come in the remaining weeks leading up to Cheltenham.First winner for the Tizzards since 22 December!
