Party time for Hogmaneigh team

Stuart Williams and Saleem Golam celebrated the biggest success of their careers as Hogmaneigh weaved himself artfully through the field to take the Vodafone "Dash" Stakes at Epsom.

There is only one way to ride this improving four-year-old, who must be produced with as late a run as possible.

Former joint-champion apprentice Golam did not take an easy route but after swerving past a couple of his rivals, Hogmaneigh (7-1) burst in front inside the distance to take the £75,000 sprint by a neck and a short head from Moorhouse Lad and Caribbean Coral respectively.

"He has got a lot of speed and I am glad he's won a big one as he's a good horse and he deserves it," said Newmarket-based Williams.

"The stable has not been in great form but I was hopeful as he had a good draw and Saleem has won on him before."

The Dash was landed last year by subsequent Prix de l'Abbaye hero Desert Lord and Williams added: "He's in the Wokingham but has other options and is entered in a big handicap in Ireland later this year.

"I hope he ends up where the winner did last year."

Hogmaneigh is a general 10-1 shot for the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot.
