By Peter Moore at Lingfield Park Tuesday 14th October 2025

Jockey Paddy Bradley came from last to first to snatch victory on Muy Muy Loco to an unlikely victory in the 1m2f handicap at Lingfield Park on Tuesday afternoon.

Bradley, who won the first two races on the card for Epsom trainer Simon Dow, was left with plenty of work to do after the three-year-old continued his trend of racing far too keenly in the early stages, giving his rider a tough time while anchored at the rear of the field

Last turning for home, he picked up after the furlong pole and produced a powerful burst to fly past his rivals and get up late to win by a neck from Beachborough Girl, to register his first win at the thirteenth attempt of asking.

Bradley told Sky Sports Racing: “He’s got a lot of talent, but he’s very difficult to ride. If he could just be a bit more tractable, there’s an engine there.”

Dow added: “Paddy couldn’t have done a better job – he’s given him a great ride in difficult circumstances. Muy Muy Loco is very raw and immature despite having 12 runs. He doesn’t do it in a balanced, measured way and that’s why he’s running in the races he is.

“If we can get him to be more compliant, there’s more to come. He’s a nice individual.”

Jack Langley got the ball rolling for the Dow and Bradley partnership in the opening 1m 4f handicap after finding plenty in the straight to prevail by one and a quarter lengths from Sir Laurence Graff.

In the same race, Luke Morris was handed a four-day ban for improper riding on Nasim. The stewards found he had used his right elbow on two occasions, causing Dubai Harbour under Sean Levey to be shifted off his intended line.

Oisin Murphy, who will be crowned Champion Jockey on Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday for the fifth time, completed a double after steering Eternal Solace and Kiniro to victory.

Eternal Solace was dropping in grade after finishing fifth in a Listed race at York 151 days ago.

The race itself looked on paper to be contested between Murphy’s mount and the unraced Zighy, under Billy Loughnane.

Entering the straight the top two in the market were well clear of the others with Zighy holding a slight lead, before Murphy pushed the button with the two-year-old filly showing a fine turn of foot to pull clear to win by one- and three-quarter lengths.

Jockey Jack Mitchell went one better than Murphy after riding a treble on the card.

Bella Perla got the ball rolling after getting up on the line to win by a neck for Rabbah Racing. The same silks were victorious in the next race after Spitzbergen bolted up to win by 11 lengths.

The three-year-old gelding has never been out of the frame in his previous five starts, and today his impressive performance was the talking point of the afternoon.

There was still time for Mitchell to bring up his hat trick with Forager in the last on the card for Newmarket trainer Simon Pearce.
