Universal Orderthe DRC Classic, which was won in impressive late-running style by David Simcock-trained Universal Order by 1¼ lengths. Finishing a game second was favoured William Haggas pupil Pablo Escobarr, while well-fancied multiple DWC Carnival winner Mountain Hunter could only manage fifth. Richard Mullen was up on the winner.
“I watched his replays this morning and he seems to have his best runs in small fields,” Mullen said. “You just have to drop him out and give him time to relax, because if you put him in the race, he gets tense. He’s still learning about the game. I think potentially bringing him out him will be the making of him. The whole atmosphere is relaxing and will make a man of him. I let the race develop as it happened and felt that they went an even tempo. I switched him off early and gave him time to relax. This horse has potential and a bright future.”
