Ryan Foote will have a leading hope in his quest for a first winner in partnership with his father Ben, with polytrack specialist Jimmy Dean lining up at Cambridge today.
The Cambridge trainers have utilised their local polytrack with plenty of success over the winter months, and five-year-old Jimmy Dean has relished the all-weather surface, scoring four wins and four minor placings this year.
“Jimmy Dean is in a very competitive race but he’s also very competitive, he’s been working well leading up to it so it’ll be a good race that’s for sure,” Ryan Foote said.
The son of Tivaci will contest the Richard Bright Memorial Cup 1550 with Kozzi Asano looking to take a second victory aboard the gelding, while Opie Bosson will partner with the stable’s other representative Harmonia in the Cambridge 1550.
A five year-old daughter of Reliable Man, Harmonia broke through for her maiden victory on the course last August and has produced two further placings at Cambridge.
