Blitzkreig gave Vince Smith the biggest success of his career with a gallant victory in the Group Three skybet.com Autumn Stakes at Salisbury.

Smith’s charge (20-1) held a nice position on the rail as soon as the stalls opened, and responded to Seb Sanders’ urgings by sweeping past long-time leader Silver Blue with two furlongs remaining.
