Crock of gold at end of Rainbow for Independence Day

Independence Day should be tough to beat in the Rainbow Communications 2-Y-O Maiden on Ulster Derby day in Down Royal.

Crock of gold at end of Rainbow for Independence Day

The Dansili colt made a promising start to his career in a hot Curragh maiden on Guineas weekend and, with normal improvement, should be capable of opening account. David Wachman’s charge ran a cracker at the Curragh ultimately finishing fourth, beaten less than six lengths, behind Thursday’s Coventry Stakes runner-up Air Force Blue.

That form has been boosted by the subsequent wins of Rockaway Valley (second), Tonkinese (third) and Painted Cliffs (eighth). And, dropping in trip, Billy Lee’s mount should prove too strong for Reckless Endeavor, a pleasing third to Ascot winner Waterloo Bridge on his debut at Tipperary.
