RUSSIAN SPIRIT, Windsor 7.40pm

27/06/2009

PHILIP ROBINSON is 48 years young, but age doesn't stop the veteran jockey making the horror trip from Wolverhampton - where he rides in the afternoon - down to Windsor in the evening for a single ride on RUSSIAN SPIRIT in the 7.40pm.

But will the drive be worthwhile? You bet it will, as the Michael Jarvis-trained colt could be a horse to follow now he's got his career back on track. He ran well on debut at Newmarket in November, showing the kind of natural tactical speed that will be suited by this drop back to six furlongs.

A wide draw shouldn't be a problem and we could get a return at around 5-1 in what is quite a weak event.
