By Andrew Atkinson
Headline tips under Italian jockey Andrea Atzeni came up trumps at Lingfield Park on Saturday – with selections Dublin Pharaoh, Harry’s Bar and El Ghazwari – returning to the winner’s enclosure at the Surrey track.
Atzeni – who rode four winners on the card – kicked-off his open winning ride on Roger Varian trained Dublin Pharaoh (5-6) impressive, when landing the Ladbrokes Novices Stakes over 1 mile.
Harry’s Bar (5-1) trained by John Fanshawe won the Class 2 BetWay Handicap over 6 furlongs, with Atzeni up, in a race that sadly saw Kachy suffer a fatal injury, after being pulled up by jockey Richard Kingscote.
James Fanshawe sent condolences, via Twitter, saying: “Thoughts go out to the Tom Dascombe stable. Kachy has been a real star. On his day one of the best sprinters in the country.”
Atzeni was successful on El Ghazwari (4-7) trained by Hugo Palmer, when winning the Class 3 BetWay Handicap over 1m 2f.
Atzeni also rode Jack The Truth (6-1) to victory in the BetWay Handicap over 5 furlongs.
Selection, Sophar Sogood (9-2) finished second, beaten 1/2 length by 7-4 favourite Dazzling Darren in the finale at Lingfield.
*Alcala (4-1) trained by Paul Nicholls, was a winning selection at Haydock Park (5.00) in the Unibet Chase over 2 miles 6f, when beating odds on 4-6 favourite Wishing And Hoping.
