Dean Ivory – in blistering form
TROPICS won the big 6f sprint at York last Saturday and on the final day of Glorious Goodwood, he is bidding for another big pay day in the ultra competitive Stewards’ Cup for trainer, Dean Ivory.
One of the market leaders at around 8/1, the 5yo son of Speightstown has climbed up the handicap and runs tomorrow off 103, having started life as an 83-rated animal. His draw of 6 could be useful and if he gets all the luck in running one needs in these type of ultra competitive sprint handicaps, he could be on the premises under Jim Crowley.
Harper Lodge Farm has a busy Saturday and besides the useful Links Drive Lady in the opener at Goodwood, there are two runners at Newmarket, courtesy of Lancelot Du Lac and Valid Reason.
The stable continues in blistering form with Aye Aye Skipper winning this evening at Newmarket at 16/1, taking Dean’s tally to 27 wins for the season at an impressive 20% strike rate.
