Dream result for Osborne

British Horseracing Authority | 11 years ago
Field Of Dream made up for his luckless outing at Royal Ascot in the 32Red Bunbury Cup at Newmarket. Jamie Osborne's old stager had been drawn on the wrong side of the track in the Royal Hunt Cup but finished well to nearly win on his part of the course, but Adam Kirby was close with the pace towards the far rail this time. Es Que Love, who was collared from the front at Sandown last weekend, had to suffer in exactly the same way again as Field Of Dream (14-1) caught him up and took the �100,000 handicap by a length. Winning owner Ken Gundlach, a London businessman who has been increasing his investment in horses, said: "I'm very happy. He ran well at Ascot and we were aiming him for Ascot in two weeks' time (Betfair International Handicap). "We decided to run him here first as it then gave us a couple of tries at a big race, and it has paid off." Paddy Power now offer Field Of Dream at 12-1 to double up in Berkshire, with Betfred just 9s. Law Enforcement already has a Group One to his name but he enjoyed his first win of the season in the 32Red Casino Handicap. Trainer Richard Hannon found the Italian Grand Criterium for the colt last autumn but he struggled in the UAE Derby and German Guineas before running in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot. Dane O'Neill was some way off the pace, but Law Enforcement (9-1) quickened smartly to come a length and a half clear of Muharrib. "It has been impossible to find a Group race for him with his penalties, but he wasn't beaten far in the Britannia. I'm just pleased to see him back to his best," said Hannon's son and assistant, Richard jnr. Read More...
