Big success for Hobbs team Big Easy was produced with a perfectly timed run to claim the Betfred Cesarewitch at Newmarket. Ridden by Tom Queally, Big Easy hit the front inside the the final furlong of the two-and-quarter-mile feature to land the £155,625 first prize. Trained by Philip Hobbs and owned by Terry Warner, Big Easy was following in the hoofprints of Detroit City, who won the race for the same connections back in 2006. Mr Burbridge set the early gallop with Queally adopting a watching brief aboard the 10-1 winner and biding his time as Teak was the first to really kick for home with half a mile still to run. He was quickly swallowed up and it looked as though Richard Hughes had launched a winning challenge when favourite Quick Jack hit the front, seemingly still travelling well. However, first De Rigueur and then Big Easy really began to motor, with Queally pushing on inside the distance to record a three-quarter-length victory. De Rigueur edged Quick Jack into second by a short head, with Brass Ring back in fourth.
