Boiling Point Wins Cambridgeshire Handicap in Photo Finish at Newmarket

Boiling Point, a 14-1 chance owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid, won the prestigious Bet365 Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket in a dramatic photo finish, narrowly holding off Indalo by a nose. Jockey Clifford Lee and trainer Karl Burke guided Boiling Point to lead from the front, a tactic that proved successful despite the horse carrying top weight. This victory marked a second consecutive Cambridgeshire win for the team, following last year's success with Liberty Lane. Trainer Burke emphasized Boiling Point's quality as a Group horse now returning to handicap company, and plans to return him to Group races, though no specific target has been set. Indalo, trained by Roger Varian, showed strong promise despite narrowly missing out, with Varian optimistic about the horse's future potential. The race featured a strong 23-horse field, with Fort George and Erzindjan finishing third and fourth respectively.
