ROYAL VELVET secured a comfortable win of two and a half lengths in the 1m Handicap at Newmarket on Saturday. She was held up in the rear off a quick pace which also helped her to stay out of the way of the loose horse. With the front runners forced to go a bit faster than ideal, the race opened up nicely for this 4yo daughter of Lightning Spear. Under the guidance of jockey Cieren Fallon, she made headway from 2f out and soon went clear passing the boys to win this Class 4 Handicap.
ROYAL VELVET was bred by owner Mrs Susie Hartley and has now secured her 5^thcareer win. Well done Susie!
