'I've got the buzz' - Robert Winston lands first winner since retirement U-turn

Robert Winston rode his first winner since recently resuming his career after a two-year break when Broxi landed the concluding second division of the 7f handicap at the Norfolk track.

The 5-1 chance carried the colours of Winston's loyal supporter Heather Yarrow and trained by his old mentor Dean Ivory, for whom he won the Group 1 British Champions Sprint on Librisa Breeze in 2017.

On the pace from the stalls, Winston was not for passing and scored on just his tenth ride back since returning on September 30.

He said: "It's great to get back on the board, especially for the owners and Dean who have been big supporters of mine. It was the right time to take a break as I had a lot of injuries over the years but I've got the buzz back now."

Former champion apprentice Winston rode over 1,600 winners in the first phase of his career and also now works for Charlie Appleby.

He added: "I plan to stay here through winter and maybe pick up some nice rides, I'm only just getting going again."

Clover in luck

Tom Clover's decision to skip the opening day of Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Sale to make the trip from Newmarket was justified when Al Barez ran away with the 6f novice.

The 11-8 favourite backed up a decent debut second at Haydock when accounting for newcomer Star Zinc under Jack Mitchell.

Clover said: "My wife Jackie is at the Tattersalls with a shopping list, but it's nice to come here and have a winner. He's come forward from Haydock where he may well have won with a better draw and some ease in the ground. He's a lovely horse going forward."

Samburu scores

Kingman's offspring have been in big demand at the sales in recent days and the stallion was responsible for the newcomer Samburu, who scored on his debut in the opening 7f novice.

There were the usual array of fancied Newmarket-trained newcomers in the 13-strong contest, but it was John and Thady Gosden's supposed second string who overcame Brilliant Blue.

Winning jockey Kieran O'Neill equalled last year's tally of 39 winners for this year with the triumph.

He said: "I rode Samburu work last week and was quite confident he would run a big race. He'll be a nice horse next year when he'll get a mile no problem."

Big turnout rewarded

Iconique received the biggest cheer of the afternoon when landing the 1m3½f handicap, especially as most of her 20-strong syndicate were on hand to cheer her on.

The Newmarket Racing Club currently lease the daughter of Sixties Icon and may extend that deal into next year after her narrow win under Hayley Turner.

Steward in charge

Louis Steward rode his first winner for Brian Meehan when Lawful Command landed a gamble in the 7f nursery.

The 13-2 chance, who was 12-1 in places in the morning, is part-owned by the winning jockey's uncle Stan Threadwall and friend Dennis Simmonds.
