Pinatubo could head for the Coventry next
Posted in: Royal Ascot News
Royal Ascot bid not ruled out for Woodcote winner Pinatubo.
The Charlie Appleby-trained Pinatubo ran out a convincing winner of the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom on Friday, staying on well in the closing stages after Misty Grey set a brisk pace.

Appleby said: “It was a pleasing performance. I said to James (Doyle) if you can hang on to their coat tails early doors I was confident he was going to come home strong.
“It was a little bit concerning when Mark’s (Johnston, Misty Grey) had gone off as quick as they had and got that extended lead, but once he came down the hill and James got him levelled out I was pretty confident he was going to do his best work towards the finish.
“As to whether he is a Coventry horse, let’s get him back and speak to Sheikh Mohammed, then let’s make a call on whether he joins the team. I wouldn’t rule it out, for sure.
“He is a horse that will take a bit of experience to the Coventry and a nice level of form to the table.”
