LAURA WILSON STRIKES AT CHESTER

14-07-2016

Chester Racecourse hosted the valuable 7 1/2 furlong Eurogold Group Handicap for lady riders on Friday night and it was easy to see why Laura Wilson calls Chester her favourite racecourse, winning here for her second time having been victorious in 2014.

Well drawn in stall 2 riding Brian Ellison’s ECHO OF LIGHTNING, Laura was soon well positioned on the rail and happy to track the leading pair of Catherine Walton on BALTIC PRINCE and Serena Brotherton on CALL OUT LOUD. Laura urged her horse on in the straight and he responded well to stay on strongly in the closing stages and score by 1 1/4 lengths, with BALTRIC PRINCE just holding on to 2nd by a head from CALL OUT LOUD.

Many congratulations to Laura on her 1st winner of this season and 6th career winner so far!
