Knight Rider
Sat 31 May 2025
Winner 31 of 2025: LEXINGTON KNIGHT, trained by Richard Hannon and ridden by Thomas Greatrex. ‘Star Sports 'Confined' Handicap’ over 1m4f at Brighton.
Our 7-year-old son of Night of Thunder, a real MPR stalwart, winner of 9 races from 59 runs and just shy of £100,000 in prize money, who seems to relish the conditions on the East Sussex-based track.
From 3 runs at Brighton, Lexington Knight returned to the winner's enclosure twice and finished third on the other occasion. Tom Greatrex gave him a brilliant front-running ride, with Lexington enjoying himself and showing a fantastic attitude, responding well to his rider in the closing stages. A great battle in the final furlong, which saw our beautiful chestnut come out on top.Very well done to his owners, so many have been with him since his 2-year-old career— a fantastic result.

Timeform rated his 9th victory with a 82, saying: "Whose last win had came at this C&D off a 5 lb higher mark last summer, was back on turf after 3 months off and turned in best effort of the year, more straightforward than is often the case under more positive tactics; made running, pushed along over 2f out, edged right over 1f out, tackled final 100 yds, proved game."
