Carlisle races

The early change in ground had the ground riding a bit dead. There was some interesting outcomes of the day including the 25/1 winner in the first race. The horse to watch from the card was Avenue of Stars, who once had room had a lot of pace. It was clearly a day that if a horse was not prominent they would not win.

The fifth race had Strawman making all, chased by Bentley Wood, Lady Latte and Stag Horn. However Roman's Empress, Copperlight, Three Dragons and Notation were held up. At two furlongs out the whole field drifted towards the centre especially Strawman. Some of the field were pushed along including Stag Horn, Tree Dragons and Lady Latte while Notation made headway. One furlong out Bentley Wood was making effort to be competitive but the lead had not been disrupted from Strawman. Merely keeping on was Stag Horn, Notation and Black Star Dancing. In the final furlong there was no catching Strawman with Bentley Wood being one paced and Stag Horn couldn't reach the front. First Strawman by 1 1/2 length, second Bentley Wood by 6 lengths, third Stag Horn by a short head.

In the 4:30 Harvey Dent led followed by Alotabottle, Redarna, Nubough and Fuente. But Mikmak and Global Gift were held up, Rousayan was slowly into stride. Nubough, Redarna, Feunte and Global Gift were being ridden at two furlongs out. With one furlong to go Alotabottle took the lead heading Harvey Dent at the same time Global Gift attempted to chase. There was by this point a large gap between these three and the rest of the field. Yet in the final furlong Alotabottle drew clear whilst Global Gift made no impression. The winner was Alotabottle by 2 3/4 lengths, second Harvey Dent by 2 1/4 lengths and third Global Gift by 1/2 length.
