Another Winner for Nando Parrado
Chairmanfourtimes arrived on the track having previously posting placings at Nottingham (2nd), Chester (2nd), and Ayr (3rd), demonstrating promise from his consistent performances. Today’s drop to the minimum trip proved the ideal move and validated the patience shown by trainer Adrian Keatley and connections, Andy Finneran and Garry Wilkie Wilson.
Timeform had rated him the standard to beat at Pontefract, noting the return to 5 f as a logical step. Cloudbuster was highlighted as his main danger, while Valor Spirit and others like Dabbling had shown useful debut runs that hinted at future progress. Chairmanfourtimes was ridden to lead inside final furlong and went on to win by a convincing two lengths.
Breeding & Background
By Nando Parrado out of Occupation (by Dragon Pulse), Chairmanfourtimes was bred by Bernard Cooke. The son of Nando Parrado realised £50,000 at the Goffs UK Breeze-Up when selling to Dan Astbury / Andy Finneran / Keatley Racing and has since earned nearly £9,900 from only three starts, with connections now eyeing patient upward progression following today’s breakthrough win.
