Champion jockey Douglas Whyte was back from a steward-inflicted break yesterday with a book that promised more but he had to make do with a double for John Size and David Hall.
Defeats on the card included two long odds-on chances for Size in Aomen and Tuxedo, but supporters of the Dream Team also didn't forget to back debutant G-One Winning and the only time they were nervous was behind the start.
Size had taken the son of Magic Albert to the trials six times this season to get the hang of things and Whyte said that, while he obviously hasn't quite got it all down so far, G-One Winning's victory had a lot to do with that 'home work.'
'John gave him a very thorough foundation with all of those trials and it was typical of first starters from his yard - the horse turned up and produced the goods,' Whyte said after the comfortable two-length success.
'I think if he hadn't had all that home work, he could and would have fallen apart. He got very worked up behind the gates, so much that he kicked a rail and then didn't want to go in, but the depth of his preliminary work stopped him from losing it altogether.'
Size conceded his first starters usually turned up in a better frame of mind but it wasn't enough to stop the three-year-old.
