Title-chasing Harry Cobden hits Wincanton treble
Rival Harry Skelton rides four winners at Stratford.
Harry Cobden kept himself in the race for the jockeys’ championship by riding a treble at Wincanton on Monday. The 22-year-old began the day 13 winners behind reigning champion Brian Hughes’ tally of 126 for the season, with Harry Skelton splitting the pair on 120. Skelton made significant inroads with a four-timer at Stratford, where Hughes also got on the scoreboard, while Cobden landed three of the first four races in Somerset – moving him to the 116-winner mark with three and a half weeks of the campaign left to go. He said: “I had four nice rides today and had three winners and a third, so I’m very happy with that.”🐎 Kauto The King bounces back to land the Dot Tolson Memorial Handicap Chase for @colintizzard; and what an afternoon it’s turning out to be for @CobdenHarry, who picks up a treble on the day 👏 pic.twitter.com/tzCVxee9sY
