Delight at last for vindicated Jarvis

TRAINER Alan Jarvis felt vindicated yesterday after 16-1 chance Winners Delight scored at Lingfield Park following a troubled season for the gelding.

The three-year-old took the 12-furlong ladbrokes.com Handicap under Robert Winston, initiating a double for the jockey.

In April, the Didcot handler was stung by a £1,200 fine and the horse was banned from running for 40 days when the Kempton stewards deemed him to have been schooled in public.

Winston completed his brace when powering home Paul Howling’s My Pension (8-1) to a length success in the concluding one-mile Bet Direct At Lingfield Park Classified Stakes.

Ryan Moore was also in double form with Mister Muja and Musical Day (7-2), the latter a spare ride in the second division of the one-mile Bet Direct On 0800 329393 Maiden Auction Stakes for the Brian Meehan stable.

But Moore received a one-day careless riding ban (November 5) when unplaced Corky caused interference to Lilli Marlane in the one-mile Bet Direct predictor.com Handicap.The race went to the Jeremy Noseda-trained Sharp Needle (8-1), who gained a third success in his last four starts under an inspired ride from Shane Kelly.
