Halfway through the six-week season, Team Swish leads the William Hill Racing League with 188 points. They are 10 points ahead of Team ThoroughBid after winning with The Attorney (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and Menai Bridge (GB) (Cable Bay {Ire}) later on the Lingfield card both for Charlie Hills. Jockey Saffie Osborne is in front of all other riders with 132 points, one point better than Jack Mitchell, and she was aboard Menai Bridge.
“We are smashing it tonight,” Team Swish racing manager Rosie Tapner told Sky Sports Racing. “I'm going to go over the top here because it's so exciting, two winners and we are flying above the leaderboard, it's great!
“I have ridden both horses, I can't take credit for them but I'm going to tonight. They're such lovely horses, I am so thrilled and Saffie must be as well. She has done amazingly, she's just absolutely flown and we've loved having her.
“We can give it over to Kieran Shoemark and Adam Kirby as well, we've got a great team. I'm hoping we can keep on flying up and if we dip down, we'll give others a chance and then throw it back at Newcastle.”
Team ThoroughBid jockey Hayley Turner booted home Richard Hannon trainee Typhoon Ten (Ire) (Slade Power {Ire}) for her second win of the series, while Team talkSPORT's Mitchell was aboard another winner with Lydford (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) from the yard of Roger Varian. In third place is Goat Racing, and they had a winner with Billhilly (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) from Charlie Fellowes's yard.
