Broadstrand Lad can continue on his winning way
The latter was due to race in the final second round heat this evening, but a toe injury has ended his hopes. Followers of Broadstrand Lad won’t be too upset however as Royal Patrol would have been seen as the biggest threat to the John Linehan trained star in the coming weeks.
Of course it doesn’t mean Broadstrand Lad can afford to take his foot off the pedal. Tonight he lines out in Heat 2 and while he will certainly start a hot favourite, he can’t afford any mistakes with the likes of Tyrur Willyjoe, Tyrur Domingo and Lemon Velvet ready to pounce should he slip up.
