Prince Alex wins at Goodwood

Prince Alex (Excelebration) wins the Summer Handicap at the Qatar Goodwood Festival for Michael Bell and owners Amo Racing. 

On stable debut here Price Alex showed a good deal of resolution to get on top close home, staying on strongly all the way to the line under Rossa Ryan to win by a neck from Urban Artist in a good time for the grade on slow ground. 

Having been in the care of Ralph Beckett for all of his starts to date Prince Alex won five races on the spin last season, improving 18lbs in the handicap in the process, before connections opted to move him to his new handlers just days before this win. Testament must be paid to his former trainer for a job well done and hopefully his new handlers can enjoy many more big days with this talented and likeable stayer.
