First Winner For Ardad At Bath

Ardad | Sarah Farnsworth

By

Overbury Stud's first-season sire Ardad (Ire) (by Kodiac {GB}) was off the mark in Tuesday's CB Protection Security Training Restricted Novice S. at Bath as the newcomer Blue Collar Lad (GB) struck at 16-1. Trained by Robyn Brisland, the bargain 1,000gns Tattersalls October Book 4 Yearling Sale buy tracked the early pace in third before engaging in battle with three rivals and gaining a hard-fought short-head verdict over Muskateer Three (GB) (Equiano {Fr}). Jockey Sean Levey said, “He put his head down where it mattered most between two horses who had experience. He was very professional and knew his job.” The dam, whose 2020 filly is by Rajasinghe (Ire), hails from the family of last year's G2 Queen Mary S. and G3 Princess Margaret S. third Caroline Dale (GB) (Lethal Force {Ire}).
