Well Done Dodsy!


Outsider of five Dubawi Gold strung his rivals out to take Ascot's Carraig Insurance Hyperion Conditions Stakes at 25-1.

Michael Dods' Darlington raider had started off his career in fine fettle, finishing second in the Woodcote Stakes, but had questions to answer after some disappointing efforts.

He had no problems stepping up to seven furlongs and made every yard of the running for Tom Eaves, finishing three and a half lengths clear of Tazahum and the 5-6 favourite Big Issue.

"He has been keen in his races before but we spoke about the race beforehand and we thought that he would settle better in front," said Eaves.

"He did, and he's growing up with the more racing he has."
