Our big bet on Saturday, Premio Loco wins at Ascot, the Summer Mile! Were you on?
Premio Loco is used to Group-race success on the continent but has found the winning ticket nearer to home too and he stepped up to the plate under a daring George Baker ride in the totesport.com Summer Mile at Ascot.
Chris Wall’s six-year-old is thriving with age and followed up last month’s Criterion Stakes win at Newmarket for his first British Group Two triumph.
The 4-1 chance was still towards the rear with two furlongs left to run, but Baker threaded a needle up the rail and survived a couple of bumps to deny French raider Vertigineux and 5-2 favourite Dream Eater by a length and a neck.
