Hide AdAn interesting newcomer last week was third-placed Pha Mai Blue, owned by Mr and Mrs Ian Bendelow, of Rustington, who also own Illustrious Blue. The two-year-old bay colt was bought for 37,000 guineas and is half brother to multiple winner Brief Goodbye.
The colt holds an entry for the St Leger two-year-old stakes at Doncaster in September and has the makings of an extremely good horse.
