Hollinshead strikes at Cagnes with Path Finder

Report: France, Wednesday

Cagnes-sur-Mer

REG HOLLINSHEAD struck for the first time this winter at Cagnes as Path Finder (Francois-Xavier Bertras) showed great resolution to land the 1m2f claimer.

Bertras sat on the shoulder of pacesetter Saroso before sending Path Finder to the front turning into the straight.

At the furlong pole the three-year-old looked sure to be swamped, but at the line was still half a length to the good of his nearest pursuer King Of Song.

The veteran trainer has been represented by three runners on the Riviera since Christmas, with Path Finder earning €7,500 on Wednesday after three previous unplaced efforts.

Ex-Hollinshead charge Dylans Verse, who was claimed last month after finishing third for the trainer on his first appearance at Cagnes, won for his new connections at the course on Monday.
