Osterhase success puts Berry on top in jockeys’ title race
Making his seasonal debut, the John Mulhern-trained six-year-old broke smartly and dictated the pace and, to his credit, fought courageously to keep English challenger Turnkey at bay by a neck with favourite Russian Blue a never threatening third.
Osterhase was recording his eighth career success and his fourth in listed company and, better known for his exploits over the minimum trip, he was registering his first win over six furlongs since August 2002.
