Alaskan Gold Gets His Head In Front At Carlisle 31/08/23

Alaskan Gold (Kodiac x Luminous Gold) got of the mark at Carlisle in the Shepherd Chartered Surveyors EBF Novice Stakes for 2yo’s over six furlongs. Alaskan beat Welcome Dream a short head, the winning margin does not do Alaskan gold credit. He was drawn 11 which was a hurdle he had to over come, due to the draw and being trap out wide was in front too soon, Meaning Danny Tudhope had to be at his best to mitigate circumstance and at his strongest in the driving finish. Alaskan was still a little green and learning his job. Traveling strongly, looking the winner at every stage before running around in the final furlong. The front pair pulled well clear of the rest of the field and look useful. Alaskan Golds form is very strong not being beaten far by subsequent Group 1 & 2 winning Vandeek on debut, its now  on to stakes races before an exciting 3yo campaign.
