Conduit back tomorrow evening

[brockguy]

He's the 4th Euro Breeders Cup winner from last year to return (the previous 3, Muhannak, Goldikova and Donativum have all been beaten and Ravens Pass has been retired). He has a 7 pound penalty against some solid opposition.

CIMA TRIUMPHS IN BRIGADIER

By Tom Peacock, PA Sport

Cima De Triomphe (4-1) just prevailed from Conduit in a desperately tight finish to the Blue Square Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown.

Making his seasonal return, St Leger and Breeders' Cup hero Conduit did virtually everything right, steadily picking up passing the three furlong marker and fighting off the challenge of 15-8 favourite Pipedreamer, who looked all over the winner at one stage before seemingly running out of gas and not making the frame.

All the while, however, Christophe Lemaire was getting his Luca Cumani-trained four-year-old into top gear and the pair got there right on the line to score by a nose in receipt of 7lb from the runner-up.

Stotsfold was a further length back in third.

[NoChanceToDance]

Conduit ran better than I expected him to over a trip short of his best.

[my miss storm cat]

I love Conduit... nice to see this boy get a win though.

(See I don't always root for Godolphin).

Full results...

I had a lot of faith in conduit today and backed accordingly! He will be much better this year than last year and always thought he could be competitive over 10. My betting has been terribly frustrating recently!
