Flying Pirate (2g Blackbeard - Karakatsie, by Karakontie) made it two wins from three starts with a wide-margin score at Haydock on Thursday. The Eve Johnson Houghton-trained juvenile made a winning debut at Salisbury in June and was not disgraced when finishing third on his next start over course and distance. He regained the winning thread with an eight-length win under Charlie Bishop. Flying Pirate was positioned prominently and was travelling strongly when taking up the lead from two furlongs out. He went clear with a furlong left to run to win easily. The son of Blackbeard was bred by Lannister Bloodstock.
