Cockney Rebel Stuffs Them

 

Yesterday in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, it wasn't the big battalions of the Irish and the Arabs that took the race, but a 30,000 guineas puchase trained by Geoff Huffer.

Now, Mr. Huffer hasn't always seen eye-to-eye with the Authorities and has had rather a chequered history, but he has obviously got a good horse in Cockney Rebel.

Steve Harley, who is the lead singer in the band, Cockney Rebel, tipped the horse on Radio 5 Live in the morning and it will be interesting to hear him next week on the Eamonn Holmes show.

Today, Luke Harvey has tipped Arch Swing, trained by John Oxx for the 1000 Guineas. This was another cheap purchase.

So perhaps, with Speciosa and Sir Percy last year, we are now seeing that racehorses can't always be brted by putting the best to the best. You just need that Mellors factor.
