Osborne baying for Mile redemption

Jamie Osborne is looking to give Docofthebay the chance to make up for being withdrawn at the start of the Royal Hunt Cup when he heads to Glorious Goodwood.The Paul Dixon-owned gelding was one of three horses taken away from the stalls for being unruly at Royal Ascot. Now Osborne is eyeing the £150,000 totesport Mile on July 31 for the five-year-old.The Hungerford trainer said: "The plan is to probably go to Goodwood with Docofthebay for the totesport Mile. The horse came back with a few pulled muscles after what happened at the start of the Royal Hunt Cup, so obviously we're hoping for no setbacks."He added: "I felt that he was in good form going into the Hunt Cup. The horse had got himself well handicapped, basically because of poor placing. Races like the totesport Mile and the Royal Hunt Cup - fast run, big fields - they suit him."Some of the races we have run him in between times, they just haven't suited his style. That being the case, I would like to continue campaigning him in these heritage handicaps."Having finished second in a Hunt Cup of 103 and being, I feel, just as good a horse sitting there off 97, wherever we go we would be hopeful that he'll run well."He has a decent record at the course. We started him out there and he won over seven furlongs at this meeting two years ago. There's an outside chance he could go for the John Smith's Cup at York, but it is more probable that he will go for the totesport Mile."
