Sunset scores for Sturgis

Sunset Boulevard continues to make the most of his second chance with another winning performance at Lingfield.

Now six, the gelding has had several stints with Tor Sturgis, interrupted by a spell with the Alner family but all four of his victories have been for the Lambourn trainer.

Chris Catlin was at his powerful best to force the 2-1 shot home by two necks in a tight finish for the freebets.co.uk Premiership Football Free Bets Selling Stakes.

“He was going to be given away as a riding horse as his owners were moving away. He didn’t jump and couldn’t breathe but I asked if I could have him back and he has won twice,” explained Sturgis.

“I have 10 horses for the Flat and they have all won.”
