Easterby hails Bleep Test after Redcar victory

Bleep Test and jockey David Allan triumphed at Redcar

- By PETER BARRON

MALTON trainer Tim Easterby’s two-year-olds are flying and he was clearly impressed after Bleep Test justified favouritism at Redcar yesterday.

“She's got a lot of potential,” said the trainer after the Time Test filly stayed on strongly under David Allan to hold off Ollie Sangster’s well-backed Lovethiswayagain and Jamie Spencer in the opening racingtv.com EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.

The first two pulled well clear of the rest and both look nice fillies, with the winner running in the colours of the Reality Partnerships syndicate.

Bleep Test had finished a promising second to Karl Burke's well-regarded Ali Shuffle on her debut at Redcar on April 7, and Easterby said: “She's smart and tough. First time out she was very green and backward in her coat, but she’s been working really well at home. She has lots of toe and I thought it was a good performance?”

Evergreen jockey Joe Fanning produced a trademark ride, dictating from the front, to land the racingtv.com Maiden Handicap on Cracksman filly Rommie The Miracle, trained at Middleham by Charlie Johnston.
