DANNY Tudhope was in the winner’s enclosure at Royal Ascot, last Saturday, after riding Out Do to a 25-1 victory in the £108,000 Wokingham Stakes.

Relishing the fast ground, the eight-year-old stormed home for a half-length success. The winning jockey was praised for the ride he gave Out Do by Yorkshire-based trainer, David O’Meara.

“It was a brilliant ride by Danny,” he said, adding that his charge had been lacking a little over five furlongs recently and had appreciated the six-furlong trip.

Galston-based trainer, Mike Smith, was on home ground to complete a quickfire double at his local Ayr track, on June 23.

He saddled Haymarket to head the opening amateur riders’ handicap, and half-an-hour later, welcomed Gworn to the winner’s enclosure after a 5-1 success in the 1m 2f handicap.

Haymarket last won two years ago at the same course and the eight-year-old bounced back to form to score by half-a-length in the hands of Carol Bartley.

Stablemate, Gworn, then got up by a head to record his third victory this term and his fifth course success.

Irvine jockey Danny Tudhope landed the third race on the card when partnering Lamloon to a 20-1 win in the 1m 2f maiden stakes.

That day, Carluke-based trainer, Keith Dalgleish, was also a dual victor, landing the concluding seven-furlong handicap before a win at Redcar secured an across-the-card double. The five-year-old Dark Profit powered home for a 2½ length win.

Also at Redcar, Maulesden May scored for the second time to win the fillies’ handicap and retain her unbeaten record at the track.

On a good afternoon for Scottish connections, Glasgow handler, Jim Goldie, also had a win at Ayr when Euchen Glen was the convincing 8-1 victor of the 1m 5f handicap.

St Boswells owners, Paul and Clare Rooney, saw their colours carried to victory at Market Rasen, when Costa Percy posted a 5-1 win in the opening juvenile hurdle race.

Both Jim Goldie and Keith Dalgleish were again back in the winner’s enclosure at Ayr, the following afternoon. Nicholas T won for the Goldie yard in the one-mile handicap, while Lomu posted a 6-1 victory in the seven-furlong handicap for Dalgleish’s Belstane Stable.

The progressive Nicholas T came right through the field from last to first and was given an impressive ride by James Sullivan.

“We always had this race as a target and now the aim will be the John Smith’s Cup at York,” said the winning Renfrewshire trainer.

“He should improve again for the step up to one mile two furlongs,” he added.

Of Lomu, Keith Dalgleish said: “He raced only at five furlongs last year but he needed a little time to strengthen up. His work at home suggested he needed seven furlongs and that’s certainly the way it’s worked out.

“We’ll give him a little break now before deciding on where to go next.”

Langholm-based trainer, James Ewart, won the six-furlong handicap with 6-1 chance, Gilmer. This was only the winner’s second start for his new stable.

Again at Redcar, Hawick jockey, Jason Hart, rode Shaheen to land the six-furlong novice stakes. Hart also rode Mr Wagyu to a 7-1 win in the six-furlong novice stakes at Ripon, on June 22.

The in-form Keith Dalgleish completed an across-the-card double on June 21.

He sent Cliff Bay from his Belstane Stable to post a 5-1 win in the one-mile handicap at Hamilton; then at Ripon, stablemate Euro Nightmare was ridden by Hawick jockey, Jason Hart, to land the fillies’ handicap.

Another Scottish trainer in winning form at Hamilton was Hawick-based Alistair Whillans.

He saddled Donnachies Girl to an 8-1 win in the concluding apprentice handicap, when the four-year-old was ridden by Hawick jockey, Rowan Scott.

The St Boswells Rooney team also won the feature handicap with Titi Makfi.

On the all-weather at Chelmsford, Danny Tudhope rode Summerghand to win the six-furlong maiden stakes.

Then Jim Goldie saddled a winner at Thirsk on June 20. He saw Eternalist head the five-furlong handicap at the Yorkshire track.

“She is a pure sprinter and will be a good horse once she learns to settle,” he said.

Carrutherstown trainer Iain Jardine won the 2½-mile handicap hurdle race at Hexham, on June 25, when Vercongetorix powered home 15 lengths clear.

“He was a good claim for £8000 at Catterick as he’s won a Flat race and a hurdle now,” said Iain.

Grand National-winning trainer, Lucinda Russell, had a 14-1 winner when Miss Joeking headed the three-mile handicap chase.

At Worcester the same afternoon, Northumberland-born teenager, Harry Reed, rode Work Du Breteau – trained by his father, Tim – to a 16-1 win in the novice chase.

Hawick-based jockey, Jamie Hamilton, rode Sweet Holly to land the concluding conditional jockeys’ handicap hurdle race at Southwell, on June 26.
