Captains Dilemma causes a surprise

Fri 28th Aug 2009, 19:37

The ‘Buy’ A Racing Post Yearling Bonus Candidate Auction Maiden caused a surprise with 25/1 shot Captains Dilemma coming home in front under Willie Supple.

Supple raced the Captain Rio colt in behind the leaders, challenged from over 2f out and kept on well under a strong drive to lead close home and deny the Tommy Stack trained Marcus Galerius by 1 length.

Winning trainer Paul Deegan was not present for the win.
