Bradsell blazes to Flying Five glory at the Curragh
Lightning four-year-old strikes Group One gold again under Hollie Doyle.
Bradsell produced another blistering display to supplement last month’s Nunthorpe success with another Group One victory in the Bar One Racing Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh. Having sat out the first half of the season before a comeback victory in Listed company at Deauville, Archie Watson’s speedball has quickly confirmed himself as the real deal in the five-furlong division. Having won the Nunthorpe at York just over three weeks ago with something to spare, the four-year-old was sent off the 2-1 favourite to follow up and broke smartly to ensure he was right in the firing line from the off in the hands of Hollie Doyle. After taking over the lead from fellow British raider Washington Heights racing inside the final two furlongs, Bradsell quickly drew clear of the chasing pack to win by a decisive length and a quarter. George Boughey’s admirable mare Believing, runner-up in the Nunthorpe, got rolling late further across the track to again pick up second place. Paddy Power make Bradsell their 5-2 favourite from 4-1 for the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
