Double delight as Durcan's tactics pay dividends for Weld

TED DURCAN was hero and villain at Nad Al Sheba on Saturday when the jockey was first past the post three times but lost one race in the stewards’ room.

He won the Emirates Airline Cup on Mick Channon’s Pic Up Sticks and completed a double in the Emirates Airline Plate on the Dermot Weld-trained Evolving Tactics.

But it would have been a treble had he not weighed in light after finishing first in the Emirates Airline Trophy on Satish Seemar’s Feet So Fast.
