Jungle enjoys change of fortune in Ebor Festival opener
John and Sean Quinn-trained sprinter picks up valuable victory.
Jm Jungle went two better than last year when running out a relatively convincing winner of the Symphony Group Handicap at York. Victory for the John and Sean Quinn-trained sprinter ensured the Ebor meeting began with a local winner as the Malton-based duo landed the first prize pot of over GBP 60,000. Third last year off a mark of 92, having won at Goodwood previously, he had dropped to a mark of 88, having gone winless this term. With an extra 89 yards further than his normal five-furlong trip to conquer, Jm Jungle travelled sweetly having tracked the pace-setting top weight Democracy Dilemma before Jason Hart asked for his effort. He quickly put the race to bed and beat the prolific Jordan Electrics by three-quarters of a length, with Looking For Lynda back in third.Jm Jungle is the first winner of the 2024 Sky Bet Ebor Festival!
