Twiston-Davies savours ‘special’ victory on Trafalgar

RECORD-BREAKING Willy Twiston-Davies rode his first winner after a summer and autumn wrecked by injury – on his favourite horse at Uttoxeter yesterday.

Twiston-Davies, teenage son of trainer Nigel, has spent almost seven months on the sidelines this year, first with a broken leg and then a broken ankle.

But on his sixth ride since his latest return, he was back in the winner’s enclosure after Trafalgar’s success in the Signs 2000 Handicap Hurdle.
