Bigtonten Another Echo Town Winner
It was another winner for Echo Town when Bigtonten (2c Echo Town x Munjazaat, by Daaher) won a Maiden Special Weight in his second start.
Breaking from the second-widest position in the Charles Town race, he chased the leader early on when just over a length adrift of that runner. Encouraged to go for the lead coming in the stretch, Bigtonten was able to secure the lead close to the wire for a one length victory.
Trained by Anthony Farrior for Richard Burnsworth, the Moreau Bloodstock International-bred is out of Daaher daughter Munjazaat.
Munjazaat is a half-sister to four winners and the dam of Munnings’ stakes winner and Grade I placed Munnys Gold. The family also includes champion Anees and Grade I winner Gold and Ivory.
This is the 13th winner for Echo Town, putting him 12th among all freshmen with his four stakes performers seventh best among all freshmen.
