Final Objective gets up to land thrilling Flying Childers

Gimcrack runner-up Final Objective came out on top in a thrilling climax to the Carlsberg Danish Pilsner Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster.
Hamad Al Jehani’s juvenile has steadily improved with racing this season, most recently going down by three-quarters of a length to Arapaho Gold at York last month.
Dropping back to five furlongs for the first time, the gelded son of Sioux Nation was a 9-4 favourite in the hands of James Doyle, who produced his mount with a perfectly-timed challenge to get up in the shadows of the post.
Crownbreaker finished a neck second, with Flann Sunna and long-time leader Fast Track close up in third and fourth. In The Black was unfortunate not to do better than fifth after encountering trouble in running before clipping heels and almost coming down passing the line.
Doyle said: “He’s a testament to Hamad and his team because he has not been an easy conveyance whatsoever.
“Faleh (Bughenaim), our Qatari jockey, has done a brilliant job with him because he rides him every day so he has to suffer on a daily basis while I only ride him now and again so I have to thank him.
“He was a bit wayward again late on but that is just his nature, he’s a bit tricky.
“I was just trying to hang on to their coattails because I was a little bit outpaced early. He’s got decent form at six and this was his first time back at five. It wasn’t a problem as he’s got more than enough speed.
“I thought he was going to win the Gimcrack but when he got out he hung his chance away and I thought he was going to do a similar thing today. He’s not easy but he’s more straightforward than he used to be.”
