Race 1 - Woodcote Stud Handicap - Sunday 30th July

Darwin Gates Deserved Win

Charles Darwin gained just reward for a stream of good recent efforts when prevailing in the opening Woodcote Stud Handicap over six furlongs. The three-year-old Tagula colt battled on bravely under Neil Callan to prevail by a neck from Third Set with Grantley Adams a short-head back in third. Charles Darwin kept going all the way to the line and is a very genuine horse. He had good form and It is always thought he was a nice horse. Last year, he came up against some Listed-placed horses on several occasions. He goes on any going but may prefer a bit of give in the ground. Charles Darwin is named after a very good horse in South Africa of the same name.
