Night Of Thunder’s Nabati Prevails In Mill Reef Thriller

Wait 5 sec.

Charlie Appleby's runners can do no wrong at present and Nabati (Night Of Thunder) continued the winning streak in Saturday's G2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury.Better off at the weights with Arapaho Gold (Bayside Boy) from their encounter in the Rose Bowl over this track and six-furlong trip in July, Godolphin's 850,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase made that tell with a late show. In between the winner and that penalised Gimcrack scorer was the Juddmonte filly Jolivette (Wootton Bassett), so close to making every yard for Kingsclere in this contest staged in honour of Ian Balding. At the line, there was a short head and a neck between the market principals.“He was tough there,” William Buick said of the 7-4 second favourite, who had been third in the Flying Scotsman eight days previously. “It was quite smooth and a good performance, as we had intended being further forward.”Got up late!
