LOCH SHOCK FOR PONTE PUNTERS
Loch Jipp gave John Wainwright his first winner for six months when causing a 50-1 upset in the Went Edge Median Auction Maiden Fillies' Stakes. The American-bred filly, bought by jockey Dean McKeown for 16,000, made a winning debut in good style by two lengths from Far Gone, who pipped Lake Sabina by a short head for second place. "She's done nothing wrong at home, but I was worried about the high draw. I'd love to win my first Hilary Needler at Beverley with her," said Wainwright. Varinia, who finished fourth, was relegated to eighth place for causing interference. Her jockey, 7lb claimer Patrick Donaghy, was banned for a total of four days for careless riding and not riding to his draw.
