Son Of Walk In The Park Goes One Better In Bumper

Westerninthepark (5g Walk In The Park - Western Skylark, by Westerner) built on a promising rules debut to run out a clear winner of Saturday’s bumper at Stratford.

Milton Harris and Avon Racing went to £100,000 for the son of Walk In The Park following his debut second for Sean Doyle and enjoyed some reward when their buy finished second to a previous winner last month. Encountering softer conditions on Saturday, the bay was ridden prominently by Bradley Harris and led approaching the two furlong marker. Pushed clear approaching the final furlong, he kept on well to score by five and a half lengths.

Bred by Ms C Corrigan and Tom Conway, Westerninthepark is a half-brother to five-time winner Cougar Kid (Yeats).
