Madara sees them off in the Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase 🏆#ITVRacing | @DSkeltonRacing | @harryskelton89 pic.twitter.com/5kFF6BTicX
Dan Skelton once again demonstrated his knack for placing a horse to maximum effect as Madara produced a performance of real authority.
Absent for more than a year following his excellent second in the 2024 December Gold Cup at the same venue, the Doctor Dino gelding had already hinted that his powers remained intact earlier this season. Formerly trained by Sophie Leech and a Listed winner at the 2024 Dublin Racing Festival, Madara arrived here for his third start of the campaign and looked every inch a horse returning to his peak.
For much of the two-and-a-half-mile contest he travelled surrounded by rivals, but the sense of inevitability steadily grew as the race unfolded. Sent off the 3/1 favourite, he was still tanking along under Harry Skelton turning for home and once asked to stretch, the response was immediate.
A bold leap at the final fence sealed the matter and the seven-year-old quickened clear on the run-in to score by seven and a half lengths, a display that suggested there may be more significant prizes ahead.
Skelton said: “He is a good horse. We thought we were going to win the December Gold Cup last year, but we didn’t quite manage that. He got a leg injury doing that, so we had to give him time off. The fact that he has had that time off meant I couldn’t race him.
“He came here as a fresh horse and he is relatively unexposed. He did a great bit of work at Warwick a few weeks ago. I can’t call him a Grade One horse, but he is definitely a Graded horse in a handicap.
“It is easier being a patient trainer than it is a patient owner. As a trainer we are lucky to have a lot of horses, but for the owners you have to be patient. That is hard as you just want to run them. It shows you if you are patient that it can work out.
“It is lovely to get a winner as that is what we all come for. If you said to me last night if we can get one then we will ask for more, but one is what is about, especially on day one as everyone can breathe a bit easier.
“I had no doubt he had plenty of pounds in hand today, it was just how it went on the way around. It was a great team effort and we are delighted with that.
“We just feel our way a little and we won’t push the boat out too hard. He will get ten pounds or more for today.
“You could think about the Melling at Aintree, but that is a big ask or you could go to Sandown Park on the last day of the season.
“We may just leave a bit more in the locker for another day.”
