Diamond sparkler for Creighton

Edward Creighton sent out his first winner since moving to his new Kent base as 5-2 joint-favourite Diamond Johnny G obliged in the Hythe Maiden Stakes at Folkestone.

Creighton had suffered a 176-day losing spell during which he upped sticks from Mill Hill in London and relocated to nearby Sittingbourne.

Diamond Johnny G was an appropriate winner for his new yard as the three-year-old colt scored on his ninth outing with a head defeat of Fine Silk.

Creighton explained: "I am delighted and it is great he has won as I put him forward as one to follow at our stable open day recently.

"He is coming along nicely and has been beaten by good horses the last twice.

"He is improving, picked up well and fought when the other horse came to him."

And that he did with the market leader stretching well clear of Cornus in the final furlong to capitalise by a length and a quarter.

Doyle commented: "I don't know what happened at Leicester but he gave me a good feel today.

"He came off the bridle at halfway but I nudged him along and he picked up nice

Jim Best shelled out £8,000 (9,233) to retain Lastkingofscotland after the four-year-old took the More Live Football Betting At totesport.com Selling Stakes by nearly four lengths.

Dropped back in trip, the 5-4 favourite was outpaced early but made giant strides under Richard Hughes to take up the running passing the two-furlong marker and he never saw another rival from thereon in.

Best said: "It was a bad race but this is his grade. He has been a good servant to us and we will keep him at this level."
