Rivals hand it to Haditovski
Outsider-of-three Haditovski was a lucky winner at Huntingdon yesterday when both his rivals fell at the same fence.
Ladalko, the 2-7 favourite, and Bambi De L’Orme were neck and neck and well clear of Haditovski when they came down together at the second-last.
Haditovski and Tom Doyle ambled past to land the Football Handicaps At Capital Sports Novices’ Chase.
Ladalko’s rider Robby McNally and Bambi De L’Orme’s jockey David Dennis made a desperate dash to catch their mounts and set off in pursuit, but they were too late.
The 9-1 shot, trained by John Mackie, safely negotiated the final fence to win by five lengths from Ladalko, with Bambi De L’Orme another three-quarters of a length away.
