Sprint-race winner landed big Ascot prize six days ago
Owner revels in success of ‘four-grand foal’
A £30,000 yearling that turned out to be a Classic winner hooked Phil Cunningham into the racing game 20 years ago. A similarly shrewd purchase gave the owner one of his best days at the track on the final day of Glorious Goodwood.
Two Tribes, one of three runners in Cunningham’s colours in the Stewards’ Cup, picked up the £75,000 first prize in a valuable handicap at Ascot last week and added £125,000 for this feature race with an emphatic two-and-a-quarter length defeat of Strike Red.
His two stable companions at the Richard Spencer yard crossed the line in fourth and fifth. “He was a four-grand foal,” Cunningham said. “That makes it even sweeter.”
