ANTON Marcus booted home two-year-old newcomer Lonsome Dove in the Mary Slack silks at Clairwood on Sunday, continuing the hot winning streak in the conquering black-and-red silks.

Mary owns this R700 000 yearling purchase in partnership with an illustrious group of of owners including world No 3 golfer Lee Westwood and his manager, Chubby Chandler.

Lonsome Dove came home lonely at Clairwood.

Lonsome Dove is Klawervlei-bred by Trippi from Western Honour, by Gone West, and she showed excellent pace in a Maiden Juvenile Plate over 1200m, leading from the off and building up a six length lead before being eased down to win by 1.50-lengths at 11-20.

*In Hong Kong, Rulership gave Japan a third triumph in the G1 Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin with an emphatic victory under Italian rider Umberto Rispoli.

Viscount Nelson didn’t get into the hunt and jockey Kevin Shea commented: “Maybe he wasn’t good enough. I thought he ran very well for him – that’s about as good as we think he is.”
