Cricket Championship roundup

Yorkshire foiled again by bad


light and Kentish resistance


Racing

Cachet


completes


Guineas


double


for Doyle


For the second consecutive week,
Yorkshire were left frustrated,
unable to force a result, as fi rst
Kentish resistance and then bad
light threw sharp pins under their
victory tyres. A morning and
afternoon of careful accumulation
by Kent, especially Ben Compton,
who became Division One’s leading
run-scorer before he was out for
93, suddenly sprang into life after
tea. First, a limping Grant Stewart,
impeded by a hamstring injury
and a runner, took to the Yorkshire
bowling like Gordon Greenidge,
belting sixes and scattering fours.
But, with the lead past a hundred,
and Stewart onto an almost run-a-
ball 90, he was run out.
With that, the fl oodgates
opened, as Matthew Milnes was
lbw for a nine-ball one and Nathan
Gilchrist gave leaden-footed
catching practi ce to mid-off , fi rst
ball, dragging himself off the fi eld.
With dimming light, and fl oodlights
on, Matthew Quinn fell two overs
later to give Steven Patterson his
fi fth wicket.

Ollie Robinson, unbeaten on
85, was roundly congratulated
by Yorkshire, whose opening pair
were soon out in the middle again,
set 114 in 21 overs. But the umpires
took one look at their light metres
and pulled the plug, to a chorus of
riled boos. With Haris Rauf off the
fi eld throughout the day with a side
strain, Yorkshire were left to rue a
number of dropped catches.

There was a thrilling, unexpected
run chase at Derby, where Marnus
Labuschagne led the charge with
a magnifi cent 85, and David Lloyd
and Ki ran Carlson proved more
than capable sidekicks. Set 331 in
55 overs, Sam Northeast almost
hauled Glamorgan over the line,
but he was caught on the rope
in the penultimate over for 81,
with just 22 needed, but only two
wickets in hand. The players shook
hands with one ball to go.
Essex batted out the day
to pull the rug from under
Northamptonshire’s feet. Paul
Walter made a stoical, fi ve-and-a-
half-hour 93 and Adam Wheater a
stonewalling 174-ball 33. Rob Keogh
collected four for 51 and Tom Taylor
three for 62.
Rain put Gloucestershire’s
match against Surrey out of its
misery, with 1,046 runs scored and
only 12 wickets lost. Surrey remain
top of the Division One table, six
points above Hampshire, whose
game against Lancashire drew to
a similarly soggy conclusion at
the Rose Bowl.
It was called off as both teams
played resigned games of football
on the soggy grass, a disappointing
end to a match that had swung to
and fro almost at whim. There was
another draw at the run-factory
at Hove, where Sean Dickson and
Alex Lees outwitted Sussex’s
bowlers to ink in the fourth-highest
partnership in Durham’s history:
313 for the fi rst wicket.

▲ Mason Crane fi nished with two
second-innings wickets at Hove

▲ Ben Compton ’s 93 helped Kent
to force a draw against Yorkshire

Greg Wood’s tips


Greg Wood
Newmarket


On Saturday morning James Doyle
was 18 years into his career in the
saddle, much of it spent riding for
the Godolphin operation, and still
wondering if or when his fi rst British
Classic might arrive. By yesterday
evening he had two to his name.
With a brave and impeccably
judged front-running ride on Cachet,
at 16-1, George Boughey’s fi lly held
on by a neck to win the 1,000 Guineas
from the 33-1 outsider Prosperous
Voyage, with the well-backed
Tuesday just under two lengths
away in third.
Cachet was stepping up to a mile
for the fi rst time but Doyle showed
no interest in riding her to get the trip,
sending her straight into a lead that
she never seemed likely to surrender.
One by one, her rivals tried and failed
to reel her in and, while Prosperous
Voyage was making significant
headway in the closing stages, the
line was always going to arrive in time
for the leader.
Doyle was clearly emotional after
Coroebus’s win in the 2,000 Guin-
eas on Saturday but he seems to be
getting used to the experience and
was more matter-of-fact about this
second Classic in two days.
“I really just got the chance to
enjoy today,” he said. “We knew she
kind of wears her heart on her sleeve
and knows this track inside out, so
I felt as long as we could get those
cheap sectionals midway I could
be brave and let her use her stride
into the Dip.
“She goes through it so well that
it’s almost like she eyes it up from a
way out and she really let rip through
it, so it was just a case of hoping she’d
hang on to the line.”
It was left to Boughey to look
astonished by the outcome, as the
30-year-old trainer is in only his third
full season with a licence. “I abso-
lutely didn’t think I’d be here so soon.
We had four horses two years ago and


the highest-rated was 62,” he said.
“To have a fi lly like her and several
others is amazing and to do it for
[owner] Highclere [Thoroughbreds]
is amazing. They’ve got six horses
with me and it’s just massive to pay
them back.
“The question was always going
to be whether she stayed. S he’s got
a really big heart and she’s very
straightforward. She’s a Group One
winner over a mile now and she can
go anywhere in the world, which is
massive. The fact that she likes fast
ground makes her a global fi lly which
is huge for us and huge for her so it’s
very exciting.
“It sounds bizarre coming out
of my mouth. I dreamt of having a
winner at Bath two years ago, let
alone the Guineas.”
Cachet is likely to run next in the
Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot
while Boughey also hopes to return
to the Breeders’ Cup meeting in the
United States in November, at which
Cachet fi nished a close fourth in the
Juvenile Fillies’ Turf last season.
Tuesday, who had only two runs
in the book before the race yester-
day, remains favourite for the Oaks
at Epsom on 3 June, a race which
her full sister, Minding, won in 2016.
She was not making ground on the
winner as readily as Prosperous
Voyage in the closing stages,
however, and 3-1 makes little appeal
with several major Oaks trials ahead
over the next fortnight.
With The Moonlight, in Godolphin
blue, staked her claim for a place in
the fi eld at Epsom earlier on the
card yesterday , pulling nearly fi ve
lengths clear of her fi eld in the Pretty
Polly Stakes.
“The race did fall apart a little
bit,” Charlie Appleby, With The
Moonlight’s trainer, said, “but Will
[Buick, her jockey] said what pleased
him was that, when it fell apart, he
had to go through the gears and she’s
found all the way to the line.”
