McMahon set on Newbury double bid

Ed McMahon is looking forward to giving Temple Meads another chance to open his Pattern-race account in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.
The chestnut followed up a Newmarket debut win with an impressive victory in Newbury's Weatherbys Super Sprint, but lost his unbeaten record when only fourth in the Gimcrack Stakes at York.
"He's going for the Mill Reef and I think the ground will be good, which suits him well. We had the choice of either this or the Flying Childers at Doncaster, but we're going for this," said McMahon. "We never really had our way in the Gimcrack. He ran a bit free and we just hope with Richard (Mullen) back on board, he can ride a bit of a hold-up race. If we get beat we get beat, but we still feel we have every chance of running well, so we'll give it a go and he's very well in himself."

Temple Meads returns to winning ways with easy Mill Reef victory

Ed McMahon's Temple Meads returned to winning ways in devastating style with an authoritative win in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury. 

Winner of the Super Sprint at the track earlier in the season, he lost his unbeaten record when fourth in the Gimcrack. 

However, he turned form around with York second Crown Prosecutor in no uncertain terms, with Brian Meehan's charge eventually getting pipped on the line for second by Formosina. 

Richard Mullen always oozed confidence on the winner and sprinted clear a furlong and a half out to win by a length and three-quarters.

Running in the 2.30, so with a rail related name it will probably come in at half past three!

Ba-dum, tsssch.  :P ;D
