Soumillon doubles up in Classic trials

Christophe Soumillon warmed up for what the jockey hopes will be one of the most important months of his career when capturing both the Derby and Oaks Trials at Lingfield on Linda’s Lad and Sindirana.

Soumillon, who on Monday rides Derby favourite Visindar in his Classic trial at Saint-Cloud, put one on the board for that colt’s trainer Andre Fabre when guiding Linda’s Lad to a head success over Hazeymm in the totesport.com Derby trial.
