Genki too strong in Stewards'

Genki (14-1) pulled away from his rivals in the final furlong to land the Bluesquare.com Stewards' Cup in convincing fashion.The big field of sprinters was only visible in the closing stages, but Genki was well in command when they came into view. Roger Charlton's five-year-old, ridden by Steve Drowne, took this ultra-competitive handicap by a length from the David Nicholls-trained Evens And Odds.Top-weight Knot In Wood was a gallant third, three-quarters of a length away, with favourite Markab fourth.Drowne said: "He's a lovely old horse. I was well behind at halfway, but I had the ones on my side covered. When I got to the front on my side the others started to come back to me, he's picked them off and he's gone and got them."He's quite versatile for trip and settles well. He missed the kick the last twice for some reason and today he was sharp out and broke on terms with them and travelled with them. He's such a game horse. We must have been 10 to 15 lengths behind those on the far side at halfway. He's done well to pick them up."
