Alice rides Balnagore to first victory in charity race
BALNAGORE, a four-year-old colt trained by John Dunlop at Arundel, got off the mark when winning the Spinal Research Charity flat race at Goodwood on Thursday, partnered by Channel 4 Morning Line presenter Alice Plunkett.
The brown colt, owned by Mrs Judy Boscawen and Mr Dunlop, has been comparitively lightly raced in his career and his previous best was a second at Newmarket last month, when he was beaten by a nose.
But in this amateur rider charity race over one mile and three furlongs, he put in a flawless performance, capably partnered by his rider.
