Likeadelago had a great win this afternoon at Sale, hitting the line strongly in front of Come on Bill and Kylemore Castle.
Unfortunately no members of the syndicate were able to make it, so most watched from the comfort of their local pub or TAB. As Lorne had the day off, he was encouraged to attend on behalf of the syndicate but decided against it ... doh!!!
We weren't too sure if Mick would pull the pin given the chances of rain and Likeadelago's poor form on wet tracks. However he checked the forecast and called this morning to let us know it was full steam ahead and that he was confident of a very competitive run.
Nicholas Hall rode today and rode well. In the straight he went to the outside rail and at one stage looked like he might be heading for the stand, but all was well and he won by a length.
Mick will be looking for a next start in a fortnights time. Not sure if he will start to look for more distance just yet. Every jockey so far (including Mick) has suggested he will definately cover more distance, but he is winning at 1400 ... so who's complaining?
Great win and another picture on the wall for the Lincracing syndicate members!!
