Super success for Jack Jones as Caburn sprints home
Trainer takes Newbury pot with 12-1 shot.
Jack Jones registered the biggest success of his training career, as Caburn struck late in the Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes at Newbury.
A winner over six furlongs at Brighton on debut, the son of Twilight Son was dropped back to the minimum distance for this valuable prize, exiting the stalls a 12-1 chance for success in the hands of Dylan Hogan.
Hogan was niggling along on his mount as Hollie Doyle aboard Vingegaard burst out of the pack and made a bid for home two furlongs out.
Vingegaard was still going strong deep inside the final furlong, however, Hogan had weaved his way through the pack and was conjuring up a strong finish from his mount, with Caburn hitting top gear when it mattered to edge a neck success over Archie Watson’s 4-1 second favourite.
