Favourite for the Coral Sussex Cup, Ballymac William, landed the odds of 2/5 this past Thursday in the 2nd heat of the opening round of the competition. Carly Philpott’s runner did not look at his best however. He missed the break but managed to get home by half a length from Boolavogue in a time of 30.10.
The only other successful favourite on the night was Borna Rocker who won the fifth heat of the evening at odds of 7/4.
There was a major upset in heat four when Claude Gardiner’s Hallucination was victorious at odds of 7/1. 5/4 favourite Farloe Titan could only manage a very disappointing 4th place.
