Zurich wins on reappearance

The Pimlico string are in exceptional form at present and Zurich provided us with yet another winner when scoring on his return to action at Killarney yesterday.

The son of leading sire Doctor Dino looked a smart prospect in a light novice campaign last term, but looked sure to improve this year and it was great to see him win yesterday.  It did require the assistance of the stewards, as he was awarded the race after being hampered as he closed strongly on the run to the line.

The six year old is from a very strong family and is an imposing type who we really feel can make up into a very useful chaser.  The 4lbs rise looks fair and we’ll have a good look through the upcoming options with Henry before making a plan.  Many congratulations to all involved!
