Winter Power so strong in Nunthorpe Winter Power gave a career-best display as she blitzed her way to victory in the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York. Tim Easterby’s flying machine won for the third time on the Knavesmire this season with a devastating performance over five furlongs, as she defeated strongly-fancied rivals from America and France. US raider Golden Pal was quickly away for Frankie Dettori from stall one on the far side — but Winter Power was also up with the speed from her draw in six. Golden Pal’s run petered out disappointingly before the final furlong, but Winter Power (9-1) sustained her gallop for Silvestre de Sousa all the way to the line to win by a length and a quarter. Emaraaty Anna (40-1) was second, with Dragon Symbol (4-1) half a length away in third. Suesa, the 9-4 favourite for French trainer Francois Rohaut, was fourth, but Wesley Ward’s Golden Pal was only seventh.
