Jamie Bargary steps in to score Cheltenham win
JAMIE Bargary proved an able last-minute deputy as he drove Splash Of Ginge to victory in the BetBright Best For Festival Betting Handicap Chase at Cheltenham. Called up after Ryan Hatch suffered a suspected broken collarbone following a fall in the previous race, Bargary took his chance with both hands to land the biggest success of his fledgling career.
Nigel Twiston-Davies’s charge had looked unlucky when falling on his previous start on this track and made amends in great style.
Always travelling sweetly, Splash Of Ginge (9-2 favourite) took the lead from Hunt Ball at the second last and kept on strongly to beat that rival by three and a quarter lengths.
