Ladied Derby glory for Tifernati

Carol Bartley gathered a late effort from Tifernati (5-1) to collect the Bathwick Tyres Ladies Derby Handicap at Newbury.

Nina Carberry sought to maintain her position as the top female rider by striking for home early on 9-4 favourite Seeking The Buck.

But Tifernati flew down the centre of the track and pulled an easy five lengths clear.

“I can’t remember the last Derby I won,” joked trainer William Haggas, referring to his victory in the real race at Epsom with Shaamit in 1996.

“This horse won his maiden over six furlongs in March and he’s won over a mile and a half in August, so he’s obviously just getting the hang of it.”
