Faithful Mount backed up his recent win at Leicester and the same front running tactics paid dividends again over this 14f trip.
According to my records, that takes my career total wins in GB to 972, so with the victories I’ve posted overseas, it hopefully will not be too long before I reach the magic 1,000!
He was shown a little respite from the handicapper and with the application of cheekpieces ran out a very comfortable winner at Leicester where he made the running for the first time under a good strong ride from Silvestre de Sousa. He fell at Fontwell in November 2015 and fractured a hock and it has been a long time getting him back.
He is now showing the form on that flat that he was capable of prior to that fall. We will see him once or twice more in the Autumn on the Flat and then it is our intention to go hurdling. His mark of 124 doesn’t look totally out of the way on what he has done on the Flat and what he achieved in his hurdle races.
