Emma Lavelle's Hang In There franked the form from last month's Summer Plate at Market Rasen when landing yesterday's feature at Stratford, the 2m3f Brian and Sheila Vaughan Memorial Handicap Chase by 3/4l under Joe Anderson. The winner of the Rasen summer highlight, Born Famous, and second, Courtland, have both won since.
And Hang In There is no stranger to Stratford success either, where good ground conditions suit his action well. He's clearly a well-balanced horse to be able to travel around Stratford's sharp circuit as easily as around galloping tracks like Cheltenham and Exeter. This was his third win in Warwickshire for owners Tim Syder and Andrew Gemmell, and trainer Emma Lavelle is so clearly proud of her charge.
She told the Racing Post, "He’s been such a little star for us. He was tough and really galloped hard all the way through. I was delighted for Joe, who rides him every day at home, and gave him a super ride there."
Indication that all is well in Ogbourne Maizey was reconfirmed later the same afternoon when conditional Dylan Whelan steered home 6 year old Rebel Intentions in a boys race at Fontwell, whilst her two other Fontwell runners filled the minor placings.
