Drayton set to work on track prior to Guineas bid
Drayton, trained in South Africa by Mike De Kock, arrived safely in Newmarket on Sunday night ahead of his tilt at the Stan James 2000 Guineas at the NatWest Rowley Mile on Saturday, May 5. The colt will get acquainted with the NatWest Rowley Mile at 7.30am this Saturday (April 28), familiarising himself with the saddling boxes and Parade Ring before working on the track at about 8am.
Drayton, formerly trained in Ireland by Tommy Stack and who has to date run just once for Mike De Kock when contesting a six furlong race in Dubai in March, is the first and so far the only De Kock horse to arrive in Newmarket. He will be joined by a host of stable companions over the coming few weeks as De Kock realises his goal to have a major satellite operation based at the "Home of Horseracing" to target Europe's top races.
