Darley Plate (G3)

Type: OPEN

Durham Town at 56kg under set weights and penalties was thrown in and so it proved with a very easy win after leading. He clocked 1:09.62 and never looked like getting caught. The amazing thing is he was a very close third at G1 in the Railway three starts ago and fourth in the G1 Telegraph next time out and carried 56kg each time there and again today. Shelford fought on after getting every chance but getting just 1kg from the winner, a multiple G1 placed sprinter, was simply not enough and never will be. Hannah Mary ran a game on the pace third just ahead of Shezhardtocatch that ran on okay. Trepidation ran on late down the outer and Antonio Lombardo was not too bad the closing stages boxing on. Durham Town at 56kg can race on and earn for several more seasons under weights and penalties as it suits him incredibly well. The mares finishing third, fourth and fifth Hannah Mary, Shezhardtocatch and Trepidation all finished with a half a length over the line.
