KEITH Dalgleish completed a double at Musselburgh, on May 5, including landing the £10,000 feature race, then added a further success two days later.
The Carluke-based handler saddled Corton Lad to take the top prize on the card at the East Lothian track.
The gelding was on his lowest mark in two years and produced a game performance to take the spoils by three-quarters of a length.
“He didn’t run well last time we saw him,” explained the trainer’s brother, Kevin. “But he’s been freshened up by the break and this wasn’t a great race for £10,000.” 
The Dalgleish double was completed just half-an-hour later when Euro Nightmare posted a 6-1 win in the one-mile handicap. She appeared to appreciate the fast ground and quickened away well.
Corton Lad was back in the winner’s enclosure two days later when Hawick-based jockey, Rowan Scott, partnered him to an 8-1 win in the middle distance handicap at Hamilton.
In Ireland, on May 5, St Boswells-based owners, Paul and Clare Rooney, saw their colours carried to victory in the concluding bumper at Downpatrick by Penny Jane. The five-year-old made all to score by a neck.
The Rooneys celebrated their second success in two days when One for Bill scored at Hexham on May 6, heading the two-mile novice hurdle race.
Langholm-based jockey, Dale Irving, also rode a winner at the same meeting, heading the 2½-mile handicap chase when aboard No Such Number.
On the Flat, Irvine jockey, Danny Tudhope, completed an across-the-card double, rising Savannah’s Dream to win the five-furlong maiden stakes at Thirsk, before landing the one-mile handicap, at Doncaster, on City of Joy.
He enjoyed a further success on May 7, riding Custom Cut to head the one-mile stakes at Leopardstown.
Jedburgh-based jockey, Callum Bewley, rode Muwalla to a 16-1 win in the two-mile handicap chase at Sedgefield, on May 4.
Another Borders jockey in winning form was Craig Nichol, from Hawick, who rode Judge Earle to land the concluding bumper.
On the Flat at Musselburgh, the same evening, Keith Dalgleish sent out Sebastian’s Wish which headed the long distance handicap.
Glasgow-based trainer, Jim Goldie, celebrated a ‘home turf’ double at Ayr, on May 8.
He saddled Jonny Delta to win the 1m 5f handicap, before sending out Testa Rossa to post a 10-1 victory in the one-mile amateur riders’ handicap. The seven-year-old cruised home six lengths clear.
Galston-based Mike Smith also had a winner at the meeting when Sophie P came in at 9-1 in the one-mile handicap.
“I was a little worried about the ground but thought it would be OK as there is a good covering of grass,” said the East Ayrshire trainer. 
“But she won’t run on this sort of ground again. She was pretty straight for this,” he added.
