Easterby lifts Super Sprint

Tim Easterby completed 'a good day`s work' when his Good Girl claimed the Stg£78,300 first prize in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury today.

Not only was the Malton trainer responsible for the winner but he also supplied the fourth (Princess Sofie) and sixth (Pepperoni) to net the stable Stg£87,075 in prize money.

Easterby, who won the valuable race three years ago with Flanders, said: 'That`s a good day`s work.

'I thought she`d win. She was a bit shinny after she came back from Ascot (fifth in the Queen Mary Stakes) and she didn`t get the best of runs that day.'

Good Girl, the 5-1 joint-favourite, led just over a furlong out under Michael Roberts and ran on strongly to hold Online Investor by a length.

The trainer added: 'She`s in all the good races and will improve a lot - she`s a big filly.'

Godolphin`s Sakhee made a successful comeback in the Steventon Stakes, last year`s Vodafone Derby runner-up easily disposing of Aldwych by three lengths in the hands of Frankie Dettori.

Sakhee`s main target this term is the Champion Stakes at Newmarket in October.

Dettori had earlier initiated a double when Dulcet Spear was another winner for the David Loder juvenile squad, easily holding Laissezaller by three and a half lengths in the Travis Perkins Conditions Stakes.

Pat Eddery was another jockey in form. He was on the mark in the first two races recording an 83-1 double on Invincible Spirit and Zucchero.
