Double delight and two course records for Dettori

FRANKIE DETTORI landed a 5-1 plus double on two horses that broke course records at Lingfield yesterday.

Despite the wet conditions, Descartes smashed the best time for mile and a half by a full second, while Rainbow Promises bettered the six-furlong record on the Polytrack surface by half a second.

The latter earned a 40-1 quote with the sponsors for the Stan James 1000 Guineas with a winning debut in the six-furlong Book Your Christmas Party Here Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.
