'He's a remarkable old horse' - Camacho at the double as Judicial strikes again
Tuesday: Beverley
Julie Camacho maintained her red-hot form as Captain Corelli and the popular veteran Judicial, both partnered by Callum Rodriguez, scored to continue the trainer's best season yet.
The ten year-old Judicial travelled well through the 5f conditions race and stormed home inside the final furlong to win by a length and three-quarters, which was the 18th success of his remarkable career.
Judicial, who made his racecourse debut at Newbury back in 2014, is a stable stalwart for Camacho. "He's a remarkable old horse," Rodriguez told Racing TV. "It's nice to see him bounce back to a bit of his old form."
It was a fourth win from six starts at Beverley for the Elite Racing Club-owned sprinter, who won the track's feature race – the Beverley Bullet – in 2019.
Rodriguez said: "He likes it here and the good pace suited him. He did it very easily. I've always got on well with him and we've had some good days."
The day got even better for Rodriguez and Camacho when Captain Corelli overcame an awkward start to land the 1m½f handicap.
The five-year-old was slow to get going, but kept on gamely to pull clear and win by a length and a quarter and take the trainer to 38 wins for the year.
Fantastic four
Autumn Festival secured a fourth straight win for David O'Meara when prevailing in the 7½f handicap.
Danny Tudhope's mount found plenty under pressure to repel the challenge of Tollard Royal and has now won six races since entering handicap company in April.
