Sam Spinner wins chase debut at Wetherby

Trainer Jedd OKeeffe waselated to see stable celebrity Sam Spinner create a winning debut over fences in Wetherby.
The seven-year-old appreciated a campaign – landing a valuable handicap hurdle at Haydock and the Long Walk in Ascot before finishing fifth when preferred for the Stayers Hurdle.
He had been disappointing to get much of last season, but proved his ability remains intact when submitting a effort to fulfill the place behind star stayer Paisley Park on his own return.
Making his first appearance Sam Spinner was a 5-4 shot beneath spouse Joe Colliver, with all the Dan Skelton-trained Beakstown the marginal favourite at 10-11.
Despite not persuasive in the jumping department, Beakstown looked set to prevail after regaining the lead – where stage Sam Spinner has been ridden along in fourth and seemingly had lots to do.
On the other hand, the further he went the greater OKeeffes bill looked and he pushed clear on the run-in to get a three-length triumph.
OKeeffe was at Tattersalls in Newmarket, in where he explained:I have not talked to Joe or my helper nonetheless, but my first thought is Im elated.
It took him a while to heat up, but he showed he can do everything – that he got in tight at several fences and created a wonderful shape in others. Hopefully he has a fantastic prospect of creating the grade as a chaser.
He completed carefully and we understand hes likely to be much better over a longer excursion. I am just so happy hes made a good start and it seems like he is the comprehensive chaser.
Considering future goals, the coach added:I think we will likely stay up north for now.
I believe there is another rookie chase for him Wetherby on November 1, however that could come too soon.
We will get him home and make a strategy.
Paddy Power cut Sam Spinner into 16-1 out of – and now Colliver is currently looking forward to seeing him step up in trip.
We went a fantastic gallop, but he know he needs three miles actually, said the jockey.
He got in tight into a couple fences, however it did him the world of good and itll help him learn his job.
It looks like he is going to make it like a chaser and using a little bit of luck he might be better than he had been over hurdles.
Thanks to Jedd and the owners for keeping faith and to Sam Spinner, as you cant do it with no horse.
