Phoenix Ladies Buys Norfolk Runner

The Archie Watson-trained Jojo Rabbit (GB) (Due Diligence) will carry the colours of the Phoenix Ladies Syndicate in Friday’s G2 Norfolk S. after the group purchased the colt in a private deal. Jojo Rabbit has run twice already on the all-weather this truncated season, finishing second on debut at Lingfield on June 8 before breaking his maiden at Wolverhampton four days later.

“We’re thrilled to have bought a 2-year-old with such promise,” said Phoenix Ladies Syndicate Principal

Pamela Cordina. “His two performances really caught our attention and we’re sure there is plenty more to come. He looks a naturally speedy colt and the way he put his rivals to bed at Wolverhampton was extremely impressive. We’re also delighted to have a talented young trainer like Archie as part of the team and we are confident this is the start of a successful journey together.”
