A Win for Barbican

Barbican, full brother to ill-fated filly Tempera, is finally back to winning ways a year and two days after he recorded his last win.

Formerly owned by Darley, he won for his new owners Tea Party Stable and trainer Todd Beattie in only his second start for them. He won a an allowance race at Penn National as a short-priced favourite. He beat Unansweredquestion by a half length with Ice Berlin back in third.

I am glad to see him win again. Tempera was a very talented filly and a favourite of mine, so I always hoped that Barbican would follow her legacy. He never quite got there, but I am sure he can win some decent races in the near future.
