MARANOA Charlie will spearhead Bond Thoroughbreds quest for victory on home soil, with the local operation assembling a stellar squad for action at York’s Ebor Festival.

Although trained by Christopher Head in France, the Prix Jean Prat runner-up will have plenty of support when he represents the racing entity of the late Reg Bond which is now overseen by son Charlie, as he seeks Group One compensation in the newly-upgraded Sky Bet City of York Stakes.

“Christopher has said he is in great form and is looking forward to bringing him over for the Group One,’ said Charlie Bond. “This has been his aim ever since the Prix Jean Prat and we will just have to see what turns up, but his determination and how he battles against horses is tremendous and his main asset.”
