Classic Dreams For Marco Botti As Pensando A Te Wins The Rockfel | Full Race | Racing TV

Pensando A Te got up in the very last stride for Marco Botti and Silvestre de Sousa to deny Light Of Dawn victory in the Betway Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket. The Karl Burke-trained Light Of Dawn was the 5-2 favourite for the Group Two contest after winning the Group Three Prestige Stakes at Goodwood last month, with John and Thady Gosden’s previously unbeaten filly Spirited Gesture rated her biggest threat. Pensando A Te, who finished second to the reopposing Speed Of Sound on her Yarmouth debut before going one better at Ascot, was sent off at 15-2 in the hands of De Sousa, who after a slow start settled his mount at the rear of the nine-runner field, seemingly intent to keep his powder dry for a late run. The front-running Speed Of Sound and Light Of Dawn were the two vying for the lead hitting the rising ground heading inside the last of seven furlongs, but no sooner had Light Of Dawn won that protracted battle to grab the lead, Pensando A Te came with a flying late run to get up by a short head. Botti said: “It’s always nice when you have a two-year-old who does well at the back-end of the season. I thought we were maybe rushing her on a little bit, but we always thought we had a nice filly. “We were confident when she ran first time out and she ran a good race and she’s progressed nicely since then. At Ascot I thought she did it nicely in a small field and today stepping up to seven furlongs the plan was to get her settled and come with a late run. “I didn’t think she had got there and my first impression was we got beat. She’s a nice filly for next year.” #horseracing #Rockfel #Newmarket Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
