Vale Of Kent wins for Johnston and Dettori

Mark Johnston's Vale Of Kent had more than enough in hand to hold off the late challenge of favourite Solar Gold by half a length and have his odds trimmed from 25-1 to 16-1 for the Unibet Golden Mile at Goodwood with the race sponsors. 

Charlie Johnston, son and assistant trainer, said: “He ran a bad race at Newcastle and I don’t know what went wrong that day.

“The horse has had a lot of issues through the spring. He went to the Royal Hunt Cup first time out this year and actually ran a massive race.

“Maybe Newcastle came a bit soon for him as it was only a week later. I thought he looked a million dollars in the paddock beforehand today.

“I guess it will be a coin toss between the International at Ascot or the Golden Mile at Goodwood, or maybe both. I think seven is his perfect trip, but if you are going to get away with a mile, Goodwood is a good place.”
