Black Velvet Boy won the Bet £20 Get £40 In Free Bets At matchbook.com Nursery Handicap Stakes at Windsor over 5f on good to firm ground at SP 6/1. He pulled hard in the early stages, made the running and was headed for a few strides inside the final furlong before drifting left and sticking on gamely to score by three-quarters of a length. Magic Effort was slow into stride, raced in mid-division, made ground on the outside approaching the final furlong and moved into second inside the last 100 yards but could not quite reach the winner. Paper View finished third.
