Going - Chase: Good to Yielding, Hurdle/Flat: Yielding. Fine
Jackpot Dividend - €500.00. Placepot Dividend - €54.00. Tote Aggregate - €1292364.00.
today was his day! We'll have to step him up in grade now and, while I thought he'd be a lovely horse for English handicaps, that is probably off the agenda now. Directa King was bought to be a dual purpose horse and he may go hurdling later in the year. Today's softer ground is what he wants.
