Rooney Scores At Wolverhampton

Wayne Rooney followed up his recent win against Hannover with victory of a very different kind when his two-year-old colt, Pippy, snatched a last stride success in the 8.10pm race at Wolverhampton on Monday (13th August). The Exceed And Excel colt, who Wayne owns with wife Coleen, was last of the four runners for most of the seven furlong race but found a good turn of foot in the final few yards to snatch victory in the shadow of the post. Pippy is one of three horses that he owns at the yard belonging to Michael Owen and the first to win, collecting £4,200 in prize money. The colt was sent off the 13/2 outsider in the four runner field so he will have rewarded his backers handsomely.

The colt, who cost 26,000 guineas, had run four times before the Wolverhampton race, finishing second on an earlier occasion, so this win wasn't unexpected. The horse was ridden by stable  jockey Richard Kingscote and trained by Tom Dascombe.
