Lowther likely next step for Argentine Tango

Yorkshire-trained juveniles made a strong impression at Goodwood, with Argentine Tango earning more admirers ahead of a potential York appearance.

Argentine Tango Second in Molecomb Stakes; York Likely Next

Argentine Tango could have an outing on home soil on her agenda after Yorkshire-trained runners filled the places in the HKJC World Pool Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood.

Tim Easterby ’s consistent three-time winner arrived on the Sussex Downs on the back of a game performance in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes and was an honourable runner-up this time around as she did her best to keep tabs on Ger Lyons’ impressive winner Lady Iman

She could now step back up to six furlongs for her next outing and take up her engagement in the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes during York’s Ebor Festival next month.

William Easterby, assistant to his father Tim, said: “She is a superstar and tough as old boots. Her attitude is unbelievable. You wouldn’t be afraid to run her anywhere because she tries so hard.

“She is not slow but we were not sure about coming back to five furlongs. The winner quickened past her and she stuck on again.

“She gets her attitude from her father, Mattmu. He was the same, he never gave up. Even when he was third in the 2015 Nunthorpe Stakes, he was outpaced but he kept galloping.

“She is in the Lowther Stakes at York so that would be the obvious way to go.”

“She is not slow but we were not sure about coming back to five furlongs. The winner quickened past her and she stuck on again."

Dickensian Finishes Third with Another Game Effort

Kevin Ryan ’s Dickensian claimed the final spot on the podium after setting the early pace, another fine performance after his second in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Jockey Shane Gray said: “It was another solid run. The ground was probably a little slow for him and he lost a bit of kick at the end, but he is a very genuine horse.”
