The Black Flash Runs Third at Ascot

The Black Flash made amends for his unplaced effort at his last run by fighting out the finish of race 6 at Ascot today. Ridden an absolute treat by jockey Shaun O'Donnell who was having his first ride for the Belhus team for quite a few years, the Flash was well placed throughout and ran to the front on straightening. He fought on strongly to the line but wasn't quite good enough on the day and finished third-a couple of lengths from the winner.
Trainer Trevor Andrews was full of praise for The Black Flash and predicted that a step up to 1400m would see the son of Don't Say Halo return to the Winners Circle very soon.
