Success for Richard Fahey and Paul Hanagan with the fast-finishing Carnageo
 |
The bookies.com-sponsored £30,000 contest was the main attraction on one of the biggest days of the year at the Cumbrian circuit, with the bells themselves reputed to be the oldest sporting trophy in the world, having first been presented in 1599 when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne.
Carnageo was one of the leading contenders in a 16-strong field and with blinkers applied for the first time, the four-year-old travelled well towards the rear of the field for much of the one-mile contest.
Hanagan angled his mount wide of rivals in the home straight and 13-2 joint-favourite Carnageo showed a willing attitude to mow down the leaders and score by half a length from King's Pavilion.
"We didn't go that quick early on and it was quite a rough race," said Hanagan.
"He's lost concentration on his last few runs and I think the blinkers have done him the world of good."
