SIX-FURLONG Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf winner Bobby’s Kitten (Kitten’s Joy) has made a splendid start at stud and his first runners have shown great versatility, his debut scorers doing so over five and seven furlongs. First up was the Kirsten Rausing homebred Sands Of Time who scorched home five lengths clear of the field over the minimum trip at Lingfield.

Mark Johnston trains Sands Of Time and on Wednesday at Kempton he had to settle for second behind Bobby’s Kitten’s second winner Miami Joy in a seven-furlong maiden. The winner, a bargain £6,000 yearling buy, becomes the seventh successful offspring for his dam Red Blooded Woman (Red Ransom).
