Trip concern for Realtra

Richard Fahey has a slight worry that Weatherbys Super Sprint favourite Realtra may not be quite quick enough as his star filly drops back down to the minimum distance at Newbury this afternoon.

Realtra appears to be Fahey’s best chance of landing back-to-back wins in the £250,000 sales race, where weight carried is determined by the price fetched at the sales.

The Malton handler runs five in his bid to win it again and Realtra, who runs off bottom weight of just 8st having cost only 10,000 euro, finished second to the unbeaten Beach Belle in a Listed race in Ireland when last seen, but that was over six furlongs.
