Another Hollie treble

IN a case of déjà vu, Hollie Doyle rode trebles on Saturday and Wednesday to continue her tremendous start to 2020, while Dune Of Pilat provided Joseph O’Brien with an easy winner on the Fibresand surface at Southwell on Tuesday.

First for Owens

GALWAY-born Patrick Owens sent out his first winner after taking out a licence last autumn when Venusta dead-heated in the opener at Chelmsford on Thursday.

Owens, who has 25 years experience in the industry,originally as an assistant to Luca Cumani, and more recently pre-training in Newmarket, is based at the historic Sr Gatien Stables in the town.
