Nicci Garner reports that Guillermo Figueroa produced 6-1 chance Salutation from mid division with a well-timed run to hold off faster finishing Tigress (11-2) in the Oaks Trial on Sunday with Arcola finishing third after racing just off the early pace. A big weight on the soft going told with favourite Ariza, who finished a disappointing eighth in the 10-horse field.
Winning trainer Stuart Pettigrew said: “Good horses make good trainers. It’s nice that we’ve got a nice bunch of three-year-olds. I’ll have her and Piper Pilot in the Oaks, so I’ll have two nice runners in that race. Salutation stays all day, so I think she’ll be a big runner.’’
