Luga Lad has Overdue Win at Sapphire

Luga Lad won a Maiden 1408m at Sapphire after a run of wide barriers and unlucky seconds in previous starts.  From his very unusual inside barrier he settled with a nice run just behind leaders.  Brendan Ward got him out in the straight and he finished strongly to win by half a length.  A very welcome change of luck and a good day for his owners on their home track.
