Scurry fits bill for Atalis Bay
Trainer Marco Botti chooses Sandown option over Royal Ascot.
Marco Botti is hoping Atalis Bay can vindicate the decision to bypass Royal Ascot in favour of the Coral “Beaten By A Length ” Free Bet Scurry Stakes at Sandown. A winner of four of his eight races to date, Atalis Bay struggled to keep tabs on Tim Easterby’s impressive Winter Power at York last time out – but given she is among the leading fancies for the King’s Stand, there was no disgrace in that. He beat the rest comfortably enough, and Botti feels he will be better off in Saturday’s Listed race than giving away weight in a handicap next week. “He seems well – we’re coming here instead of Royal Ascot, and he seems in good order,” said the Newmarket trainer.❄️ Winter is coming
