'He's a great little horse' says Beasley after Tatterstall's Goodwood triumph
JOCKEY Connor Beasley has described Tatterstall as a "great little horse" after his all-the-way victory in the Coral Racing Club Handicap at Glorious Goodwood.
The four-year-old Bungle Inthejungle gelding, trained at Denton by Michael Dods, showed a great attitude to beat Miss Attitude by a nose.
Beasley said: “Tatterstall has bags of speed and the key to him is quick ground. He got that today so we let him bowl away. It was probably knocking good times on the speedo, but he is just in first gear in the first half of the race.
“He wins the race in the first couple of furlongs and they are all playing catch-up. He’s a great little horse and great to get a good win on him today. He was game all the way to the line, hardy fit and very determined.”
Tatterstall won the Three-Year-Old Dash at Epsom on Derby Day last year and has come back strongly this season after undergoing wind surgery.
Winning co-owner David Stone said: “Michael has always had this race in mind. Tatterstall has won at Epsom, so we always knew the track would suit him. He pinged the stalls and got an easy lead, although it wasn’t easy at the end.
“We bought him as a yearling from Tattersalls, his name is a play on that. We will have to ask Michael where we go next, he is the guru.”
The Glorious Goodwood victory came days after the Dods yard bagged another big handicap in the south, with Northern Express landing the Moet & Chandon International Stakes (Heritage Handicap) under Paul Mulrennan at Ascot on Saturday.
