'Tony Blair was PM last time I had one' - 100-1 juvenile joy for Jamie Osborne

Jamie Osborne was 0-20 with his two-year-olds this season, which might explain why Boafo Boy was able to make a successful debut at 100-1 in the first division of the 6f novice, but it was no surprise to the trainer.

Ridden by Shane Kelly, the juvenile is by Lope De Vega and cost Osborne £75,000 as a yearling last year.

He is related to some useful performers and showed he possesses talent when denying newcomer Ikhtiraaq by a neck, with Andrew Balding's eyecatcher War In Heaven third.

Osborne, a top jump jockey during his time in the saddle, said: "100-1 eh? I've always liked him, but I've been too busy to look at the market and if I'd known he was going to be 100-1, I might have had £1 on him because he's always shown up well.

"I thought he'd want seven furlongs, there's a bit more stamina in his page than you'd imagine for a six-furlong race here, but he's clearly a decent animal.

"He's always been a nice horse, but Tony Blair was in power the last time I had a first-time-out winner!"

The Lambourn-based Osborne added: "He's the first two-year-old to win this year, but we have hit the crossbar a few times and they've been running all right in fairness."

Successful on the Nicky Henderson-trained Remittance Man in the 1992 Champion Chase, Osborne enjoyed top-level success as a trainer when Milk It Mick landed the Dewhurst in 2003, while his UAE Derby winner Toast Of New York nearly pulled off a sensational victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2014 when he was agonisingly denied by Bayern, who prevailed by a nose.

Chief in charge for in-form Kublers

Seneca Chief landed the 5f handicap to be the third winner in the last four runners for Daniel and Claire Kubler.

The Lambourn team credited Claire's father Gary Middlebrook, who owns Seneca Chief, for spotting the race.

Daniel said: "We're really pleased. The team have worked very hard all year and we put a lot of work into building our new yard, so it's good to get a run like this.

"Everyone has got used to how things work and it feels like everything is going forward. We moved three years ago, but we only finished it this year and it's the first time Claire hasn't been a site manager!"

Haggas plan pays off

William Haggas is not known as a master trainer for nothing and his decision to adjust riding tactics on Lilac Road was the key to her winning the Listed Upavon Fillies' Stakes.

"We've always been positive and forced the issue with her because she's tough, but William told me to drop her in today and it was a fantastic call," said jockey Tom Marquand, who was in the navy and maroon silks of Jon and Julia Aisbitt.

"I could latch on to the back of Oisin [Murphy] on Technique, which gave us a nice target, and it's great for the Aisbitts to find another nice filly."
