IF Mick Quinn could have picked a horse and track to give him a 100th career winner it would be stable star Angus Newz at Chester. And that’s just just how it happened for Liverpool-born trainer as Angus Newz led from start to finish to win the Listed Fillies Stakes on Saturday.

Fellow Scouser Franny Norton, who secured at treble on the Roodee on Saturday, got the five-year-old mare out quick and she gamely hung on to beat odds-on favourite Look Busy by a half a length in the six-furlong contest.

Quinn said: “I have kept it quiet about being on 99 winners, but it is great to reach the hundred and it could hardly have been better as Franny has ridden about 50% of my winners and he has done it on the best mare I have ever trained in my father’s colours and on my favourite track!”

Angus Newz may be sold at the end of the season, if Quinn gets the right price, but she could run a couple more times with the Flower Of Scotland Stakes at Hamilton, a race she won two years ago, a possibility. Quinn added: “I would love to keep her next season, but she has more black type than a Chinese menu and has nothing to prove.”
