YEOMANSTOWN Stud’s leading sire Dark Angel (by Acclamation) had a blacktype treble on Saturday, with the first leg provided by Markaz in the Group 3 Betfred Chipchase Stakes over six furlongs at Newcastle.

Out of the speedy Folga (by Atraf), and so a full-brother to Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes heroine Mecca’s Angel, the Owen Burrows-trained colt is a £200,000 Doncaster graduate whom Yeomanstown bred in partnership with Doc Bloodstock.
