Royal Ascot aims on the horizon for Covey
Jersey or Britannia under consideration after Haydock strike.
Covey is likely to run in either the Jersey Stakes or the Britannia at Royal Ascot following his easy win at Haydock on Saturday. The John and Thady Gosden-trained colt has now won three of his four races following a narrow defeat on his debut. Unraced at two, he is rapidly making up for lost time but after Frankie Dettori admitted to being run away with on the gallops with him last year, what has pleased connections most is that he now saves his energy for the track. A 10lb rise from the handicapper means he is now rated 100. “We were all happy at Haydock and I was expecting the sort of rise he’s got,” said Barry Mahon of owners Juddmonte.Covey cruises home to win the Betfred Silver Bowl Handicap@FrankieDettori controlled that from the off#ITVRacing | @haydockraces pic.twitter.com/vtaIYyMOuZ
