Century Fox resumes normal service in Cambric Cup Sprint at Ngong

Oliver Gray, Patsy Sercombe, Bindya Devani, and Gilly Fraser, all shared in the trainer's exposure lens, together with Julie and Stewart McCann, at Ngong on Sunday.

There was a roar from spectators when Century Fox (Ramazan Wako 61 kgs), returned to his former glory in the Cambric Cup Sprint.

The giant thoroughbred has always been adored by pundits but was off on a sabbatical for several months. Owned by Mim Haynes, Century Fox bagged his last race in July 2022, cleverly deciding it was time to renew his lease on the winning post. Dusha made a valiant effort to adjust the order, only half a-length second.

Hats off to young Saint Moritz, for enchanting us with a tenth strike. Lady Spencer's imposing colt reduced his Civil Service

Gold Cup field to rubble, with just a nudge from Lesley Sercombe.
