Racing: Naughton crosses old mark
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.JASON WEAVER, one of the season's leading apprentices, completed a double for Mick Naughton on Best Effort and Carlingford at Edinburgh yesterday to take the Richmond handler's seasonal total to 22, a personal best.
The jockey adopted differing approaches on the two winners, holding Best Effort up until well inside the sprint handicap's final furlong before making all on Carlingford in the George Boyd Handicap half an hour later.
Carlingford may make a swift reappearance in a handicap at Catterick tomorrow in which he would race off a lower mark than he did yesterday, thanks to the timetable for readjustment of ratings.
