DOWNPATRICK native David Maxwell was out of luck in his attempt to win a race at Britain’s most southerly and northerly racecourses on Wednesday.

He first rode in the 4.45pm hunters’ chase at Newton Abbot but there his Paul Nicholls-trained Vivaldi Collonges, who was sent off the 5/4 favourite, could only finish third behind the 13-year-old Anshan gelding Strumble Head.
