Thursday October 4, 2007
JOCKEY Paul Hanagan stole the riding honours at Ayr Racecourse's opening October meeting on Thursday with a double on board the Richard Fahey trained pair Quest For Success and St Savarin.
The former landed the Early Discounts For 2008 Coral SGN Maiden Auction Stakes with ease at odds of 6/5 fav from Safebreaker (6/1) while St Savarin (4/1) won the feature event of the day the Christmas Parties At PR Suite Handicap by a length and a quarter from Let's Roll (11/4 fav).
Irvine born jockey David Allan bagged a winner in the opening race, the Weddings At Western House Hotel Linfern Handicap riding the Eric Alston trained Jadan (3/1 fav) to a comfortable half length win over 100/1 shot Mint.
As the sun shone down on the course the biggest priced winner of the day was Double Carpet at 25/1 in the Subscribe Online@racinguk.tv Handicap. The Paul Fessey ridden, Gary Woodward trained gelding held off the challenge of Rothesay Dancer (16/1) to cross the line half a length to the good.
Trainer David Barker regularly sends out winners at Ayr and he notched another one with Dendor (10/1) under Tony Hamilton in the Dawn Group Handicap while long distance raider Carrickmacross (7/2) made the journey from Staffordshire pay off under a good ride from Richard Mullen in the Ben Nursery.
Final winner of the day was Moheebb (9/4 fav) in the Book Now For Christmas Handicap for trainer David Chapman and jockey PJ McDonald.
