Zac, who works for Angmering-based trainer William Knight, was looking after Illustrious Blue on behalf of the bay/brown colt's lass Heidi Cunningham.

Heidi is currently in hospital but is hoping to be back at Lower Coombe Stables within sex weeks time.

Illustrious Blue has become something of a course specialist and was winning his fifth race at the track. He has also run outstandingly well generally, winning a 50,000 race in Dubai and finishing close third in the all weather Derby at Lingfield earlier this year.
