WEALTHY Chepstow businessman John Deere was £58,000 richer after his five-year-old Patav-ellian romped home in the Stewards' Cup at Good-wood on Saturday.

Deere, deputy chairman and co-founder of electronics company Renishaw plc, lives almost opposite the Chepstow course at the home and stables once owned by trainer Colin Davies.

Patavellian was a horse he bred himself and it was at the Chepstow track almost a year ago that trainer Roger Charlton, once No 2 to Davies at Chepstow, realised sprinting was his game.

After trying him several times over distances around a mile, he reverted the horse back to seven furlongs and he scored two easy wins at Chepstow, one in the Daffodil Leisure Classified Stakes worth less than £3,000.

Blinkers and a shorter trip had proved successful and I wrote in the Argus at the time, "the switch seems to gave brought out the best in him and he should go on to win in better company."

He subsequently proved that, winning more than one big sprint, including the Ladbrokes Bunbury Cup at Newmarket.

But Saturday showed he is even better over six furlongs and his winning run seems far from over.

Chepstow trainer Milton Bradley kept up his tremendous run of success with two more winners over the weekend also.

The Sedbury handler landed a £50,000 sprint recently and only last week achieved his first Group Three success with The Tatling.

Those successes came at top courses Ascot and Goodwood and yesterday he turned his attentions to Newbury.

It was another sprinter, the ever consistent Fly More, who did the trick this time, landing the Hill McGlynn Wessex Heartbeat Handicap in the hands of top jockey Darryl Holland at 11-2.

But on Saturday Bradley showed his ability in the National Hunt field when his Harmony Hall, a recent winner, followed up in the Letherby and Christopher Handicap Hurdle at Worcester.

The 4-1 joint favourite got home by a short head, ridden by Jamie Moore.

It seems at the moment punters can't afford not to follow the Chepstow handler.
