Caburn strikes in Super Sprint
- RACING POST -
'This is how you take your business to the next level' - Jack Jones on cloud nine as Caburn strikes in Super Sprint.
Burgeoning trainer Jack Jones described Caburn's victory in the Weatherbys Super Sprint as "monstrous" for his Newmarket stable and is now eyeing a first win at Group level in next month's Gimcrack at York.
The 29-year-old, in his second full season with a training licence, started with just three horses in 2022 but took a huge step up the ranks with the biggest success of his career and a juvenile making just his second start.
Jones cut his teeth in the jumps yards of Paul Nicholls and Kim Bailey before stints with Chris Waller in Australia and David Simcock and Richard Spencer in Newmarket, and he hailed the biggest day of his career after Caburn's last-gasp victory under Dylan Hogan.
"In our second full season, to even have runners at a meeting like this is fantastic," said Jones, who has expanded to a team of 35 horses. "This is monstrous for us. Last season was all about the 0-50 races and getting winners and getting noticed. Getting the snowball rolling is very hard and there were times in that first year when I thought, 'What am I doing?'
"You've just got to trust your system and trust what you're doing. To now get horses of this calibre running at meetings like this is how you take your business to the next level. It's a hugely important day."
