CHAMPION jockey Will Buick hit a triple treble at Kempton Park.

And he may just have found himself as the dark horse of the 2000 Guineas in the form of the impressive Speech.

Buick, who spent most of the winter in Dubai, is starting to prepare for the start of the Flat season approaching Newmarket a week on Tuesday.

She had to be stronger to bring Adelaise home in the Listed Snowdrop Fillies Stakes for Joseph O’Brien, while the Devoted Queen raised her hand slightly when she won by a neck later on the card.

But he saved the best for last when he produced Famous Speech, now a perfect 3-3, with a stunning late burst to win the warm-up race by two lengths.

Charlie Appleby’s colt was still close to the finish line but eased past the previously unbeaten Valvano inside the final 100 yards to win going away.

He was a 66-1 overall shot for the Guineas on May 4 before the race but was cut at a high price of 20-1.

Buick smiled: “He’s a very smart horse, he had them covered in steps.

“It’s been raining everywhere and we were hesitant to run him on the test field.

“He’s done all his wins in all weathers but he’ll be fine on the field, as long as it’s a good surface because he’s a good mover.

“I think he’s opened up a few options here, he’s really fast and he’s got a lot of talent. He’s a good, fast runner to watch.”

Appleby’s leading Guineas hope so far has been Ancient Wisdom, who carried the Group 1 Futurity over heavy ground at Doncaster late last season.

Buick added: “It’s a different breed. Old Wisdom covers the cut and will get over the mile, while this guy is faster. I’ll leave any plans to Charlie.”
