Kingscote bags big-race Windsor double with Regal Reality and Cresta

-

Derby-winning rider Richard Kingscote enjoyed a stellar Saturday at Windsor with success in both the August Stakes and Winter Hill Stakes with Regal Reality and Cresta respectively.

That pair of victories was supplemented with success on Magical Merlin (Harry and Roger Charlton) earlier on the night, giving Kingscote a treble on the evening.

In the feature event, it was seven-year-old Regal Reality, who ran down hot favourite Grocer Jack to land the Winter Hill Stakes for trainer Sir Michael Stoute.

Derby-winning rider Richard Kingscote had a superb Saturday with victory in both big races at Windsor

The race set up perfectly for the veteran, with Grocer Jack (Tom Marquand) and Majestic Dawn (Neil Callan) both wanting to lead and going at a blistering pace in the early stages.

Majestic Dawn paid for that, finishing last at the finish but the former looked set to quicken again two furlongs out.
