At Pontefract on Monday, where the going is currently described as soft, good to soft in places, it is Round 6 of the Pontefract Stayers Championship. Justus and four other horses are all tied on 9 points, with just one round to come after this, a win here for Justus, or even a place could be good enough to see him crowned champion.
We are very proud of our record in this competition, having won the series three time previously, with Mr Crystal, (2009) Tuscan Gold, (2017) and Becky The Thatcher (2018.)
Justus who loves the soft ground, comes into the race bidding for a hat-trick after wins at Pontefract and Ripon back in April, for which he is now 3lb higher. He runs at 3.37.pm, in the 0-75 'Bluff Cove' handicap, over two miles and two furlongs, with Aiden Brookes retaining the ride.
