Young Rascal wins

After flopping in the Epsom Derby, Investec chief Bernard Kantor’s star Young Rascal returned to best form at Newbury on Saturday.

Young Rascal got his career back on track in the Grade 3 Dubai Duty Free Legacy Cup Stakes at Newbury.

Not sighted since finishing seventh in the Investec Derby, this son of Intello made up for lost time when claiming his second Group 3 contest of the season, and is set to have his sights raised once more.

Having raced prominently and travelled into it well, the 5-2 shot looked booked for third at the furlong (200m) pole – but with one final effort the Chester Vase hero lunged close to the line to deny Mirage Dancer – from whom he was receiving 3kg – by a short head.

Trainer William Haggas said: “For me the right race is the Chaudenay, which is a Group 2 over a mile-seven (3000m) on Arc weekend, but it’s only two weeks away.”–
