Three horses crossed the line together in the Weatherbys Super Sprint leading to a lengthy and nervous wait for connections to find out who would collect the £143,009 first prize.
As the announcement came over the tannoy and with the camera focused on Zigazig Ah (17/2), her jockey Saffie Osborne let out a roar of delight as number 24 was announced the winner with Osborne then giving her filly a well deserved pat down the neck.

The winning distances were a nose, a short-head and half-a-length.
