Ballad Down who was purchased by Richard Knight for €30,000 as a yearling won his maiden in good style at Kempton on the 16th December. The son of Canford Cliffs was making just his 2nd start but showed a good turn of foot to win over the 1 mile distance beating a few well-regarded runners in the process. With plenty of stamina in his pedigree he will now be put away for the 2016 turf season.
Congratulations to his owners Angmering Park Thoroughbreds 1 and to his trainer William Knight.
