Prince Escalus continued the excellent start to the new season from the four-year-old’s from the Colin Bowe yard when he made the best start to his racing career when registering an eight-length success at Damma House. This race was particularly notable for the extremely strong pace that was set from flag fall, with this true gallop ensuring there were no hiding places over the course of the three-mile trip. This Jeremy gelding was always positioned in the first half of the field by his claiming rider and began to make a forward move quite early on the final circuit. As one-by-one his rivals began to falter as the continued strong pace became too much, he passed more experienced rivals to finish out his race particularly well, to register a time 32 seconds quicker than the day’s average, and unsurprisingly the quickest of the day.
