Esquire produces 16-1 shock in Greenham
But O’Meara-trained gelding will not be able to run in Classics.
Esquire produced a professional performance to prevail in the Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes at Newbury for David O’Meara and Danny Tudhope. However, connections of 2000 Guineas hotpot City Of Troy will not be losing any sleep over this result, as the gelding is not qualified to run in the Classics. Tudhope sent the 16-1 winner on two furlongs from home and he quickly established a nice lead. El Bodon, Zoum Zoum, Son and Alaskan Gold all tried hard to cut back the deficit but ultimately had to settle for a bunched finish for the minor placings. Tudhope simply had to keep Esquire going along at the same pace up the rail to finish a length and a quarter clear of the chasing pack.Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
