Peate rides first Hamilton winner on Show Me Show Me

Jonny Peate rode his first course winner at Hamilton Park on Saints & Sinners night aboard Show Me Show Me in the Patersons Of Greenoakhill Handicap over five furlongs.

The 11/8 favourite missed several lengths at the start but recovered in great style to see off Ventura Flame by threequarters of a length.

Peate said: “I got to know this horse well as I spent some time at the Richard Fahey stable during the school holidays when I was younger. He handled the drop back in trip well and he was a very good two-year-old - luckily he recaptured some of that form tonight.”

Platinumcard sprung an 80/1 upset for in-form Carluke trainer Keith Dalgleish in the PDM Builders Scotland Maiden Stakes.

Winning jockey Billy Garritty said: “He has experience over hurdles and in bumpers and that helped. They went a good gallop and I brought him up the centre of the track for the better ground.”

Celtic Empress bounced back into the Hamilton Park winners’ enclosure after securing the Captain JC Stewart Fillies’ Handicap for Irvineborn jockey Danny Tudhope.

Trained in Yorkshire by David O’meara, the 7/2 joint second favourite beat Mere Green by three-quarters of a length.

At Newcastle today, Zeyaadah can put her career back on an upward trajectory with victory in the William Hill Hoppings Fillies' Stakes.

Roger Varian's filly appeared to get stuck in the mud - as did many - behind brilliant Oaks winner Snowfall at Epsom last time.

Zeyaadah was nonetheless still in contention until weakening in the final two furlongs, right back to a well-beaten 13th of 14 behind the runaway winner.

This Group Three assignment, back on an all-weather surface and down in trip and class, therefore takes out of the equation all three elements which proved too much for her four weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Perth Racecourse has been granted approval to welcome back racegoers to small-scale racedays for all July fixtures in the latest phase of crowds returning to the track.

A limited number of Grandstand Enclosure tickets, which will see members of the public in that area of the racecourse for the first time since September 2019, will be on sale.

Park & Picnic Bubble tickets will also be available at July fixtures.
