Southdown Lad who was purchased as a yearling by Richard Knight won his 2nd race from just 4 starts when taking the 9f 2-year-old 0-85 nursery off top weight at Newmarket on Wednesday. The son of Lilbourne Lad was purchased for 34,000gns from the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale and showed a good turn of foot coming into the Newmarket dip before going away to win by 2 lengths under jockey Andrea Atzeni.
Congratulations to his owner Gordon Roddick and trainer William Knight.
