Buccabay back with a bang!

RaceShare owners were cheering last night as Buccabay stormed through to win in style at Kempton Park in the 7.40pm Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day (London Sprint Series Qualifier) Handicap over 6f.

It was Buccabay’s first win on the all-weather and his first since re-joining Eve Johson-Houghton, and he proved to be well-handicapped as he gathered speed down the outside to pip the favourite Carbine Harvester for William Haggas, on the line.

Eddie Greatrex gave Buccabay a fantastic ride, realising straight away that the pace was too strong as Buccabay was struggling to go with them, so he dropped him back in and sat patiently until space opened up as they came around the bend.

Trainer Eve was understandably delighted with the win: “I am absolutely thrilled to get him back in the winner’s enclosure. I absolutely love this horse. Thanks Bucca!”

He is likely to remain competitive and has early January targets for his next runs.

There was an emotional element to the win as David, a member of staff at Eve’s, and who has been at Buccabay’s side since was a yearling, had to miss the race due to the death of his father. The win would have given David a real boost, so well done Buccabay.
