The big winners just keep coming for Hambleton Racing’s owners with Atomic Force the latest horse to score a Stakes race success for us, this time for Kevin Ryan and Stephane Pasquier.
The two-year-old son of Cotai Glory was hugely impressive when taking out his maiden at Hamilton in a good time and left that form behind again when running right away with the Group 3 Prix Du Bois at Chantilly.
Kevin’s Young Star Continues to Progress
Settled in a prominent position by Stephane Pasquier, Atomic Force was soon very well placed, showing bags of natural speed in a fluent rhythm.
As the speedy youngster was asked to lengthen the writing was soon on the wall for his toiling rivals, as Atomic Force ran right away from his rivals, as the race replay shows, much to the delight of his horse racing syndicate, the majority of whom were watching on from home in England, given the travel restrictions still in place.
Why Atomic Force’s Success Excites Syndicate Owners
Enjoying horses of this quality is very much living the racing dream, creating memories that last a lifetime for our owners — and explaining why so many decide to buy shares with Hambleton Racing, as once again with a cheaply bought horse (Atomic Force cost just £22,000) we’ve produced a horse of Group-race quality.
Once again, Hambleton’s big results attract media attention around Europe with the Sporting Life, France Gallop and The Irish Field all covering the impressive success.
Another big winner for Kevin and Hambleton
The win was a fine advert for the skills of trainer Kevin Ryan, who has trained any amount of big race winners over the years and seemingly always lands on a Group class two-year-old whatever the year.
Speaking on from home after the race Kevin said “This is a horse with a lot of quality and I had no doubt he was up to the grade. Stephane gave him a polished ride and it’s great to enjoy another big winner for Hambleton Racing, who we’ve enjoyed so many special days with.
What the future holds next for Atomic Force will be very interesting with this victory marking him down as a quality young horse well capable of further success at a high level.
