Convicted breaks his duck at Kempton

Convicted made all the running at Kempton under James Doyle to break his duck for loyal owner Noel Martin.

Noel has been with the yard for a long time now, and a win for him is always a great pleasure – loyalty is a sadly rare commodity, so to be involved with such a passionate and committed character is a genuine pleasure.

Convicted always promised to win races in his second season, and having dropped to a low mark of 55, he took advantage in good style under the lights at Kempton.

All being well, and granted fair treatment by the handicapper, he should keep progressing through the summer months, and could travel across to France to take advantage of the generous premiums available to French bred stock.
