Doyen Ta Win blitzes them from the front

Doyen Ta Win (15/2) is a potent front-runner on her day and made all for a wide-margin win in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase.
Third on chase debut at Tramore just four days ago, she was soon clear and jumping well under Kevin Sexton. The 1/3 favourite Brandy Love gave chase in second but made mistakes and was beaten when taking a tired fall at the last.
This left Doyen Ta Win to coast home by a whopping 32 lengths from Soldaro
Declan Queally, assistant to his father and namesake, said of the Newbury Syndicate's six-year-old: “She likes it here, she likes going left-handed.
“I think the race on Sunday helped her because she jumped better. It was only her first chase on Sunday and I toyed with the idea of running her today, I don't like running horses back quick.
“I had a chat with my father on Sunday evening and he said to go back and watch the reply as she hadn't had a hard race.
“We spoke to the syndicate and decided we'd run her as she likes it here. It's great to pick up another (ITBA) bonus.
“She's going to be covered by Arctic Cosmos and when she's on foal she'll run away for the summer. That'll be it then, she's done her job.
“Arctic Cosmos is a big sort, she's not the biggest in the world, he's throwing good horses and he's great value. The Hannons (Old Road Stud in Tallow) have a great stud and they deserve a chance.”
