SNEEZY DOES IT
Super-sub Denise ‘Sneezy’ Foster landed her very first Celebration winner given that taking control of Gordon Elliott’s training licence
After Elliott was handed a 6 month restriction, Foster was prepared in to take the reins at the effective Irish steady.
And she lost little time in making her mark at Cheltenham, as Black Tears left it late to cruelly reject red-hot preferred Concertista on the line in the Mares’ Difficulty.
Viewing on from Ireland, Foster would have chosen 2nd for much of the straight, however as Concertista tired under the shadows of the post, jockey Jack Kennedy caught his 11-1 shot.
Her very first runners Abacadabras in the Champ Difficulty and Milan Native in the Ultima were both well beaten previously in the day.
However any hopes of keeping the Foster program from striking the headings were ended with just her 3rd runner.
As she informed Sun Sport previously in the week, she was doing it for Gordon.
Kennedy stated: “She leapt and took a trip dazzling the entire method.
” The line was coming and we were simply beginning to get up so I was hoping it would not pertain to quickly, it didn’t, thank God.
” To be truthful we ‘d have been thrilled if she ‘d completed in the very first 3 and I understood kipping down I had a sporting chance, as she was going to remain going.
” It was simply a case of if the line came prematurely.”
