There is a lot of talk at the moment about Patrick Veitch after the release of his book “Enemy Number 1″ and recent interviews on Channel 4 and Racing UK.

Anyway, Hitchens today catches my eye for a number of reasons. Firstly, he was supplemented for the race today at a signficant cost which connections will be looking to get back. Secondly, and perhaps more interesting, is that at the October Horses in Training Sales the horse was bought for 40k by Stuart Williams and sent to David Barron.

Stuart Williams is a successful trainer in Newmarket who is known to train horses for Patrick Veitch. David Barron is also a trainer to whom Veitch has used from time to time. Hitchens won his first race for his new trainer and if the market vibes are positive then he should certainly be worth following each way.

It is a strong race with Equiano and Tax Free in opposition but a win and place bet on WBX.COM could be worth having IF the money comes for the horse. If nothing else theyve got the supplementary money to get back!
