G3 stunner for Moment!


08 June 2013


MOMENT IN Time gave trainer David Simcock his first Group winner in Britain on the turf this season when landing the Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock this afternoon.

The victory by a head in the mile and a half Group 3 caps a fine week for the in-form Trillium Place team.

This was only the first time that the four-year-old daughter of Tiger Hill had contested a Group race - and she took to it like a dream.

Jockey Jim Crowley brought Moment In Time with a stirring late challenge, heading the German raider Nymphea.

David was thrilled with her victory - achieved at odds of 8/1 - and suggested that American targets are likely to come under consideration.

On a good day for the Simcock team, there was a deserved first triumph for Dream Cast.

He won his maiden over five furlongs at Catterick with jockey Darren Egan booting him home with a length and three-quarters to spare.
