The Corsican takes Listed prize


23 May 2015


THE CORSICAN completed a three-timer in great fashion with an accomplished display in Listed company at Goodwood.

Trainer David Simcock's charge maintained his progressive profile with a two-length success in the Festival Stakes.

The Fitri Hay-owned four-year-old is now four wins from six starts and showed that he remains on an upward curve with his latest triumph.

It was a straightforward victory, too, despite the step up in grade to Stakes company. Through the early exchanges The Corsican was held up at the back by jockey Jim Crowley.

He travelled well throughout and cruised into contention from a couple of furlongs. The Corsican made relentless progress and made light work of finishing the race off, scoring at odds of 7/2.
