Jack Jones eyeing Weatherbys Super Sprint with Caburn
Young Newmarket trainer Jack Jones is eyeing next month's £250,000 Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury with Caburn after the debutant provided him with his first win at the track.
The Twilight Son colt showed a willing attitude in the straight, getting the better of the more experienced 9-2 chance Brighton Boy to land the 6f novice by a neck at odds of 14-1.
"Worryingly, most of my two-year-olds have run averagely but I thought he was above them as he's always shown signs of being a nice horse," Jones told Racing TV. "He went through the Tattersalls Guineas breeze-ups unsold, which I was delighted about because I wanted to train him. "I've had this race marked out a long time and he'll sharpen up mentally from today. "It's a nice stepping stone to the Super Sprint, which is the obvious step and where I want to go."
