'A nice one' - Talbeyah gives Ray Dawson perfect start in famous Shadwell silks
Ray Dawson could not have asked for an easier first ride in the famous Shadwell racing silks as Talbeyah ran out a dominant winner of the 1m2f novice stakes.
The jockey, riding his fifth winner of the week, held up the three-year-old daughter of Lope De Vega who breezed into the lead with a furlong to go before quickening clear for a six-length win.
Dawson said: "That's a great start. The last ten days or so we've kicked into gear and opportunities like this are coming. When luck's in your favour it's good.
"Mr [Owen] Burrows was quite confident that, if she didn't overrace, she could go pretty good but I don't think he was expecting that. She's done it like a nice one."
Super sub
Pat Dobbs missed his rides when his car broke down on his journey to Chepstow and Richard Kingscote stepped in to partner Grand Scheme to a convincing win in the mile handicap.
Although his car was written off with an iron bolt through a tyre, Dobbs will still take the ride on Chindit in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas on Saturday.
Jockey banned
Jordan Williams was given a nine-day whip ban by the stewards for his ride on Cogital, who was beaten a short head in the second division of the two-mile handicap.
