Perfect 10
Fri 21 Jun 2024
Winner 44 of 2024: USTATH, trained by Roger Fell and Sean Murray, ridden by Cieren Fallon: The “Download the Racecourse App Raceday Ready Handicap” over 5f at Wolverhampton.
Away from Ascot, we had our beloved and now incredible 10-time winner USTATH at Wolverhampton. His 9th career win in our silks. After his promising 2nd place 16 days ago, and his brilliant record on the all-weather, he went off 5/2 favourite. Drawn in stall 2, our stunning chestnut, made his familiar sharp break from the stalls and was able to grab the rail and disputed the lead. He was travelling strongly turning for home, and when Cieren asked him to quicken, he kept on well to fend off all challenges to win gamely by ½ length.

Timeform rated it as a t58, saying: "8 lb lower than when last successful, went one better than last time, battling well to fend off the strong challenge of the runner up, disputed lead, went on over 1f out, joined final 1f, edged ahead again close home."

Ustath telling his stablemate End Zone that he is going to win at Wolverhampton:
Syndicate manager Mike was full of praise after the race: "Huge well done to his owners! An incredible 10th win for our Ustath. It was good to see him back up his improved performance in his previous run. Cieren always had him nicely positioned and it was good to see him win 2 battles, seeing off both Another Angel and Wakai Umi to get his head in front. We are immensely proud of him and he is a credit to Roger, Sean and all the team at Nawton for what great form he is in, at the grand age of 8."
