Holland lands Ascot honours with treble

Darryll Holland stole the show on the final day of Ascot’s Festival meeting when he completed a brilliant near 126-1 treble on Systematic, Peruvian Chief and Scott’s View.

The feat featured all aspects of Holland’s skills as a rider and emphasised the fear the bookmakers have of Mark Johnston at any Ascot meeting as both Systematic (1-2) and Scott’s View (11-2) hail from that man’s Middleham stables.
