DEAN IVORY is off the mark for 2015, courtesy of Russian Ice, who won a 7f handicap at Kempton this afternoon.
The four-times winning 7yo daughter of Iceman had lost her way of late but the chestnut mare bounced back to form under Robert Winston, winning comfortably by 1 1/4 lengths from the odds on favourite Tsarglas.
Dean enjoyed a record season last year with over £400,000 in prize money, despite not recording a win until March.
This is January…and the Harper Lodge Farm stable is up and running!
