Bold Act is Appleby’s hat-trick hero at Newmarket
Godolphin runner could have Zetland aim.
The progressive Bold Act brought up a hat-trick as he led home a Charlie Appleby one-two in the Federation Of Bloodstock Agents Nursery Handicap at Newmarket. Second to stablemate Highbank on debut, the son of New Approach has not put a foot wrong since and got the job done with minimal fuss in this one-mile event on the Rowley Mile. William Buick was willing to bide his time on the 4-9 favourite as his fellow Moulton Paddocks inmate One Nation set the fractions with Adam Kirby aboard. But there was only one victor once Buick sent Bold Act forward to win his race and set up a possible tilt at the Zetland Stakes back here next month.Bold Act (New Approach) is a nice colt and brings up the hat-trick on handicap debut in this smooth success for William Buick and Charlie Appleby at @NewmarketRace pic.twitter.com/dYFGEZevjB

“He’s a horse that is progressing nicely and we will see what William has to say,” said Appleby. “Whether we put him away for the year, or something like the Zetland might fall into his category.” “He’s a horse that is progressing and when stepping up will progress further. He is a horse we’ll let winter here and the Zetland could be a nice race to look at.” Charlie and Mark Johnston’s Tenerife Sunshine showed plenty of improvement to take the opening Turners British EBF Maiden Stakes.
