Connected made a perfect start to handicaps by winning the Follow @theraces On Twitter Handicap at Wolverhampton last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good looking son of Twilight Son was drawn 6 of 11 runners and was ridden by Danny Muscutt, and it was run over 7 furlongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a bit slowly away and had to be ridden to get a position where he settled around 5\/6th travelling nicely with the two leaders setting a good pace<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming round the home bend, he had to be checked, but once he got going again, he showed a really good attitude to go between two horses and hit the front in the last half a furlong to go and win readily, by just over a length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He really looked like he enjoyed himself with the penny finally dropping in the last couple of furlongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was the first winner for trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy for owner Mr Raed El Youssef, and lets hope there are many more to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
