Dutch Art takes Group One at Newmarket
Friday, 29 September 2006 16:50Dutch Art, trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam and ridden by Frankie Dettori, won the Shadwell Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket.
The 6-5 favourite stretched his unbeaten record to four with an impressive victory at headquarters this afternoon.
After being on the heels of the leaders Brave Tin Soldier and Captain Marvelous, Dutch Art quickened when asked for an effort by Frankie Dettori about two furlongs from home.
Dutch Art held a clear lead over a furlong out and bounded clear to win by two lengths from Wi Dud, with Captain Marvelous a length and a quarter away third.
Dettori said: 'He's four from four now. When I was third behind him in the Morny I thought he was a special horse.
'I only had to change my hands, he quickened up and won like a good horse should do.
'At home he doesn't do a tap but when he comes to the races, he lights up and runs like a good horse.
'I've never ridden him on good ground, but he handled that. Good horses go on any ground and that would be the case with this one.'
