Lead Artist shines under Shoemark at Goodwood

Lightly-raced colt bags Group Three honours.

Lead Artist made all under Kieran Shoemark to win the Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood.

The lightly-raced Dubawi colt jumped out of stall one and hugged the far rail under Kieran Shoemark as they set a sharp early pace in the Group Three contest.

French Guineas runner-up Dancing Gemini and Native American raced prominently in behind, but the smooth-travelling King’s Gamble looked the main danger once he found racing room down the outside.

King’s Gamble gave chase inside the final furlong, but the John and Thady Gosden-trained Lead Artist had built up enough of a lead to come home three-quarters of a length clear at 9-2.
