Unquestionable takes Easter Guineas

President of the Arima Race Club (ARC) Hugh Lee King celebrated his new position in style yesterday when his three-year-old gelding Unquestionable outran 12 rivals to win the feature Grade One - NLCB Easter Guineas over 1,800 metres at odds of 10/1. The Shaffique Khan trained three-year-old gelding was always in the van and stayed on stoutly to repel a fast finishing Big Thing which came from some 15 lengths off the leader to snatch second, one and a quarter length adrift. The 8/5 favourite Onetokeep finished third with One For The Road, fourth.

One For The Road led the 13-horse field from the off with Unquestionable, Onetokeep, Lady Angelica, Sea Dold, Legally Released and Raise Your Glass, following. Big Thing was nearer last than first and second fancy Piston and Rings was content to observe from the rear. Lady Angelica briefly took the lead going down the backstretch but was quickly passed by Legally Released who motored past. Unqestionable tracked in third with Sea Gold, followed by Onetokeep and It Got To Be Me. Honours for the day went to champion trainer John O’Brien who saddled a double. No jockey was able to ride more than  winner.
