Racing: Whillans counts on dry run for Vittachi

Published on 24/07/2012 01:10

FRESH from the biggest win of his training career at Cartmel’s jumps card on Saturday courtesy of What A Steel, Borders-based Alistair Whillans is focusing on some Flat success at Musselburgh this afternoon.

Hoping for a big run from top-weight Vittachi in the 2m Racing UK The UK’s Best Racecourses Live Handicap, he said: “It was too soft last time when he disappointed over course and distance. He was never happy on the ground and I would blame the going for that poor effort.

“But I wouldn’t be surprised if he was good enough to win as long as the rain stays away.”
