Mickael Barzalona denied The Actuary Horse Racing Tips no fewer than three winners on last night’s Kempton Park card. After Richard Hughes had bought what looked like the banker of the meeting Blank Czech home in second with La Belle Doyenne snapping at his collar in third.
The first of Barzalona’s rides, Speed and Class selection Tarbawi (7-4) was just caught on the line in the tightest of photo-finishes.
Next came 2 point selection ‘The Actuary’ and ‘Trip Handicap’ Swift Bounty (4-1) ridden by Robert Winston, caught flat footed as the Barzalona ridden Lilac Tree got the jump on our selection who closed all the way to the line to be beaten by ¾ length.
Tarbawi and Barzalona just fail to hold on
Barzalona and Lilac Tree hold off 2 point selection Swift Bounty
Barzalona and Spring Of Fame run down stablemate and 'On The Money' selection Modun
To add insult to injury the reversal happens with our next selection Modun (11-4) for ‘On The Money’ where Barzalona runs down Modun in the closing stages to give us our fourth second place!
