Wetherby Charlie Hall Meeting 2010 |
Super Smooth Nacarat Lands Charlie Hall
30/10/10
1 Nacarat 6/1
2 The Tother One 9/4F
3 Deep Purple 15/2
Nacarat put up a near perfect display of jumping to land the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on Saturday.
Having set a challenging gallop for the whole of the three-mile Grade Two contest together with the veteran Ollie Magern, Tom George's grey had plenty left to survive a minor blunder at the third-last and then powered clear.
 |
The heavily-backed The Tother One was off the bridle some way out but plugged on for second, four lengths behind, while last year's winner Deep Purple ran well under a penalty in third. Ollie Magern ran respectably in fourth.
The big disappointments of the race were Barbers Shop and Knockara Beau, with the latter being pulled up before a circuit had been run.
Wining rider Sam Thomas said: "I've had a quiet week and it makes it a bit more special to have a good winner at the weekend. I'm delighted for the owners, they are very loyal and I have paid them back.
"We got there too soon, but he likes to be ridden handy. He went half a stride quicker going to the third-last, but he's a different horse this year and I think he'll be competitive wherever he goes."
George added: "We've had a much easier preparation with him this year and I'm delighted the hard work everyone has put in has done the trick.
 |
"He has worked just like a normal horse in the past, but now he's working like a good horse and I hope there is a lot more to come, as he will improve for this.
"In the past we have actually had to take him to the gallops in the horsebox as he couldn't even trot, but he is much better now. The ground has helped him and we'll have to decide where we run him next, but the King George has to be high on his list of targets.
"We'll obviously have to improve to get the better of Kauto, but without him I think we'd have been a good winner of the race last year. We'll see how he is before we decide if he runs again before then."
