LEADING TIMES made the perfect start to his career at Southwell last night, winning the 5f maiden in good style.

Despite showing some inexperience from the gates, Ray Dawson was able to settle him nicely in behind runners through the early stages. He overcame his greenness in the final furlong to readily see off more experienced rivals. He is sure to improve for the outing, and we are all excited to see how far he can progress in the sprinting division.

Congratulations to his very patient owner Allan Belshaw, regular rider Connor Mains and groom Asif Nazir.
