Northumberland Plate joy for Ellison with Onesmoothoperator
Newcastle-born trainer celebrated his 72nd birthday yesterday.
Onesmoothoperator lived up to his name when cruising through to claim an emotional victory in the Jenningsbet Northumberland Plate Handicap for Newcastle-born trainer Brian Ellison.
The handler was born on Pitmen’s Derby day back in 1952 and celebrated his 72nd birthday yesterday.
He has never made any secret of his desire to land this prestigious north-east prize and the success of Onesmoothoperator sparked jubilant scenes in the winner’s enclosure at Gosforth Park.
Given a confident ride by Connor Beasley, the 12-1 winner eased through to the front at the furlong pole on the nearside rail and comfortably beat 40-1 outsider Evaluation by two and a half lengths.
