Josh shows iron will

Although the Paul Green-trained 6-1 shot had a clear chance in the totepool.com Sports Handicap on form, having previously won at the track and having finished second and Ripon just two days earlier, his supporters must have feared the worst when Baudains lost an iron rounding the sweeping home bend.

While clearly uncomfortable on board, apprentice Baudains (18) kept his cool, kicked his other foot from out of the irons, and rode with all his might for the last couple of furlongs to take the spoils by a neck from Mick Slates.
