Trainer Alan Jarvis felt vindicated yesterday after 16-1 chance Winners Delight scored at Lingfield Park following a troubled season for the gelding.

The three-year-old took the 12-furlong ladbrokes.com Handicap under Robert Winston, initiating a double for the jockey.

In April, the Didcot handler was stung by a £1,200 fine and the horse was banned from running for 40 days when the Kempton stewards deemed him to have been schooled in public.

After a neck success from King Of Diamonds in the £10,000 feature, Jarvis admitted he had been ''furious'' with the fine.

''In 30 years I'd never been accused of schooling in public and it made me furious,'' he said.

''He had been very difficult as a two-year-old and had sweated up when he got to the races a couple of times - he even knocked a tooth out when we tried to saddle him.

''On his second start as a three-year-old, I told the jockey to settle him at the back and bring him through gradually. He finished ninth and they did me.

''It was ridiculous. They didn't know what they were talking about.

''As a consequence, they've only dropped him a pound all season, so the owners have had to suffer. It isn't fair on them, but we've finally managed to get a win into him, so I do feel a measure of vindication.''

Winston completed his brace when powering home Paul Howling's My Pension (8-1) to a length success in the concluding one-mile Bet Direct At Lingfield Park Classified Stakes.

Ryan Moore was also in double form with Mister Muja and Musical Day (7-2), the latter a spare ride in the second division of the one-mile Bet Direct On 0800 329393 Maiden Auction Stakes for the Brian Meehan stable.

It was Winston who had originally been booked, but he was unable to do the weight.

Mister Muja caused a 20-1 shock in the Bet Direct On The Breeders Cup Maiden Stakes, getting up near the line to nail Grand Ideas by three-quarters of a length.

Winning trainer Peter Harris said: ''This is his third run and he bled last time. I've trained him out of a field since then, so he probably doesn't look as good as he should. We'll have to see what the handicapper does now.''

But Moore received a one-day careless riding ban (November 5) when unplaced Corky caused interference to Lilli Marlane in the one-mile Bet Direct predictor.com Handicap.

The race went to the Jeremy Noseda-trained Sharp Needle (8-1), who gained a third success in his last four starts under an inspired ride from Shane Kelly.

Drawn widest of all in stall 12, Kelly bided his time before unleashing the three-year-old.
