Time for Rupert to step up
Carpincho finished at a respectable distance back in third place, with Pasco fourth. Nothing wildly exciting in that.
Carpincho is the only one of the four runners to have run since and he landed the odds in style when taking an uncompetitive three-runner affair. While it would be wrong to read into the victory as a franking of the Newbury form, it certainly didn’t do any harm to the credibility of the contest.
