Horsham jockey Dean Yendall enjoyed Group 2 success at Sandown on Saturday, saluting in the $250,000 Ladbrokes Sandown Guineas in a thriller.
Yendall swooped home to win aboard Allibor for Warrnambool trainer Symon Wilde, coming from the rear of the field to get the better of Sydney filly Sweet Reply, $2.70 favourite, by a half-head.
The win was Allibor’s first in four career races and the three-year-old gelding benefitted from the late scratching of red-hot favourite Aysar.
Yendall said after the race the son of All Too Hard had a promising future. “My bloke was fully lost and still learning his caper, he’s screaming raw,” he said.
