Elixir De Nutz takes home Haldon Gold for Tizzard team
High-profile win for young rider Freddie Gingell at Exeter.
Elixir De Nutz ran out a gutsy winner of the Betway Haldon Gold Cup for Joe Tizzard at Exeter. Fit from a recent run at Chepstow, he was one of two runners in the race for Tizzard with stable jockey Brendan Powell riding War Lord. That meant Freddie Gingell, Tizzard’s nephew, came in for the ride and he was positive from the outset on the grey. A 13-2 chance for the Grade Two, Elixir De Nutz was kept handy and surged ahead as others were faltering around the final turn for home. A game and accurate string of jumps saw him extend his lead on the run in to the line and though Paul Nicholls’ Solo gave chase, it was the young jockey who prevailed by three and a quarter lengths.Elixir De Nutz wins the Grade 2 Haldon Gold Cup at @ExeterRaces for @TizzardRacing 🟡⚫
