Show Respect notches up the double

Brian Meehan did not have to wait long to take an across the card two year old double at Leicester with a very promising son of Showcasing in Show Respect.

He unlike Isaac Shelby had ran already ran with great promise at Goodwood first up under Lois Steward who returned with gleaming reports after not such a straight forward race and finishing 4th.

James Doyle backed up those reports with a win that again was not the most straight forward in a strong field he was carried across the track in the final furlong but once straightened by the Doyler he powered on through the easing ground that he reportedly did to 100% enjoy.

Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot could well be a realistic target for this colt who’s 50,000gns price tag from Tattersalls Book 2 could look significant value on Monday night as he holds an entry in the Royal Ascot Sale.
