Richard Pankhurst | Racing Post

5th-HAY, £17,500, Alw, 9-3, 3yo/up, 7fT, 1:29.79, gd.
RICHARD PANKHURST (GB) (c, 3, Raven's Pass–Mainstay {GB}, by Elmaamul), on the shelf since registering an impressive success in the Listed Chesham S. over this trip at Royal Ascot last June, was held on to early in fourth. Making steady progress down the outer to lead with 150 yards remaining, the 6-4 chalk got the better of Dark Emerald (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) to score by a short head. “The ground wasn't to his liking, he's a fast-ground horse really, but it's very nice to get him back on track,” jockey William Buick commented. “It was a goodperformance to win what was a pretty good race. To win despite not liking the ground shows his potential.” Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, $75,777. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
O-Godolphin; B-Rachel D. S. Hood (GB); T-John Gosden.
