Rhapsody sweet music for Rothwell
Divine Rhapsody produced a 33/1 shock in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper when scoring for Philip Rothwell.
The four-year-old hit the front over a furlong from home, under Mikey Fogarty, and despite run a bit green had too much in hand for his rivals. Double Double who had ran very wide turning for home, stayed on in the final furlong to chase the winner home by three-lengths.
"He's a gorgeous horse. Richard Walshe has been an unlucky owner and it's great for him," said Rothwell.
"My brother Ronan broke him after the Land Rover last year and said of all the horses he's broken that this horse was mighty. I'm delighted.
"I said to Richard that's he's a big weak baby as he was born in June. He's only had one canter on grass, when he worked with Rathlin, and I was pleased with what he did.
"He hasn't eaten the last few days and was only on hay and grass. He's a big baby and had done enough work.
"I think he'll be a lovely horse next year and today is just a bonus."
