What a little star!
That was Cool Sky’s 20th run over hurdles tonight, and his 6th win … added to a further 7 seconds/thirds plus 6 wins on the flat, and you have the epitome of a dual purpose horse.
The win at Aintree tonight didn’t look likely a mile from home when he was the first under pressure and last in the race.
But under persistent urging from Ed Austin, he started to run on after turning for home and the pressure paid off as he stayed on well after the last to win by two lengths.
The victory takes his career earnings to over £100,000.
