Sunday July 26. Holloway Boy was the NAP of the day at Pontefract at 16:00. He won at 4/5, ridden by C Lee for trainer Karl Burke — the same Coverham yard that produced Venetian Sun, who won the Royal Ascot Commonwealth Cup as Horse Racing Oracle AI's NAP of the day in June.
The Form Case
Holloway Boy is a former Group 3 and Listed winner — his career stakes wins include the Listed Hyde Stakes, the Group 3 Superior Mile, and the Listed Chesham Stakes on debut as a two-year-old. Dropping into Class 3 company at Pontefract gave him a clear class advantage over his rivals.
His most relevant recent run was a second in the Summer Mile at Ascot, beaten by his smart stablemate Zeus Olympios. <cite index="3-1">Timeform described him as "a smart and reliable sort nowadays" whose "recent second to very smart stablemate Zeus Olympios in the Summer Mile at Ascot would see him go very close back in listed company."</cite> The step back down in class to Pontefract's Class 3 was an obvious opportunity.
The Result
Holloway Boy won at Pontefract at 4/5 favourite, ridden by C Lee.£10 stake returned £18.75.
