Treble for Keith Dalgleish at Hamilton
Saturday 9 July 2016 22:19, UK
Keith Dalgleish was in great form at Hamilton Park on Saturday night as the local handler landed a terrific 32/1 treble.
Reckless Serenade made all in the Highland Spring maiden Auction Stakes before Rio Deva carried top-weight to victory in the Sas 'The Power To Know' Handicap with Toffee Apple completing the job when routing her rivals in the Hamilton Advertiser Handicap.
The Carluke trainer said: "Reckless Serenade was hampered at the start on her debut at Carlisle last Saturday night and has learned from that. She travelled well in front and has come on a lot in a week.
"Connor Beasley said that Rio Deva was hanging a little. She maybe didn't handle going downhill but she came up it really good!
"I'm delighted Toffee Apple won tonight as she ran really well to finish second at Ayr on Monday."
The most valuable race on the card, the racinguk.com Handicap, went to another Scottish winner, Oriental Tiger, trained at Carrurtherstown by Iain Jardine.
Sent off at 8/1, the Dumfriesshire raider carries the colours of Andy Barclay, a brother of former champion jockey Sandy Barclay.
Jardine's partner Val Renwick said: "We scoped him as he was so disappointing at Redcar but we probably ran him too quick. The strong gallop he got tonight is just what he needs."
