After being well-regarded in the Dubai Duty Free (G1), Paco Boy (pictured below in Dubai) was back to his winning ways landing the Bet365 Mile (G2) at Sandown on Saturday. This win, as the 15-8 favorite, was the eighth from 12 lifetime starts for the son of Desert Style who was backed in the UK as the 9-2 second choice in the Dubai Duty Free.
The win represented the first victory beyond seven furlongs for this Richard Hannon trainee, one of the main knocks against him when he went to Dubai. Paco Boy landed the win by 3/4 lengths over Dream Eater, a colt that has been winless since September 2007 when he won a class 2 race at Doncaster.
