Two in a row for Black Velvet Boy

Black Velvet Boy continued his progression with another good performance at Windsor on 17th August, making it back-to-back victories with success in the five-furlong nursery.

Having opened his account in impressive fashion at Beverley on his previous start, it was great to see him take another step forward on his first venture into handicap company.

Jason Hart was positive from the outset, allowing Black Velvet Boy to use his natural speed at the head of affairs. He travelled strongly and, when challenged in the closing stages, showed a really good attitude to keep finding all the way to the line.

It was particularly pleasing to see him follow up his Beverley success and confirm the progress he has made with each run. He is still learning and gaining experience, but he has shown plenty of speed and a willing attitude, which should stand him in good stead going forward.

Black Velvet Boy is a son of Soldier’s Call out of the No Nay Never mare The Works and looks an exciting young sprinter to have in the yard.

We are delighted for his owner, Mrs Jennifer E Pallister, and for everyone at home.
