Goat Racing set up thrilling finale in Racing League
Goat Racing teed up a gripping finale of the William Hill Racing League next week following double success at Lingfield on Thursday evening.
It was Billhilly's second win in the competition after a breathtaking run in the William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Racing League R28 Handicap.
The four-year-old tasted success on the all-weather a fortnight ago, and repeated the showing on turf.
Billhilly (11/2) led over a furlong out and swept away for a convincing four-and-three-quarter-length victory.
The 4/1 chance hit the front in the straight, and prevailed by a neck from Cozone.
Steward said: "He half-stumbled coming out of the gates, and I actually had a bit of a lump in my throat and thought 'how am I going to recover from this?'
ThoroughBid are just ahead in the standings, largely due to Typhoon Ten (11/1), who powered to victory in the William Hill Double Your Odds Racing League R27 Handicap.
Sean Levey's move won the race when he kicked on two furlongs out. The top weight, trained by Richard Hannon, then pulled away to finish three lengths clear of Ajrad.
The 100/30 joint-favourite got a dream run through on the rail to take the lead and maintain the gallop to score by two lengths.
Danny Muscutt came in for a winning spare ride when guiding Anythingtoday (10/1) home in the William Hill Build Your Odds Racing League R29 Handicap.
EToro Racing got on the scoreboard through Richard Fahey's Show Me Show Me (10/1) in the opening five-furlong William Hill Free Or Four Racing League R25 Handicap, in the hands of Paddy Mathers.
