n1n1 RIPON REVIEW:
/.%/.%/, BLUE WINS WILFRID
#######################################
Thj master of Middleham Mark Johnston
enjoyed an excellent week at York's
Ebor meeting and followed up with
glory in Ripon's top race of the year.
His faithful six-year-old Double Blue
was driven to a 2½ lengths triumph by
Jason Weaver in the £20,000 William
Hill Great St Wilfrid's Handicap.
Favourite Top Banana finished third
after a troublesome run but connections
failed in a post-race objection against
the winner and runner-up Lennox Lewis.
Indeed the stewards considered that
move to be so frivolous that they fined
jockjy Billy Newnes £55.
