Big Leader justified being sent off the 6/4 favourite in the £15,000 William Hill Summer Cup, run over a distance of one mile at Thirsk last Saturday.

Racing prominently on the outer, Big Leader lived up to his name to cross the winning line a neck in front of his nearest rival, Treble Tee.

Jockey P.J. McDonald reported a quick pace in the race requiring Big Leader to tough it out.

Recording a third successive victory following previous wins at Redcar and Southwell, the three-year-old now qualifies for a £100,000 handicap race at York fourth Friday in August.

Big Leader’s trainer, Geoff Oldroyd, operates from his yard located in Yapham Mill, near Pocklington and has his string in good form at present.
