Jamie Mackay notched his first winner since returning from a spell on the sidelines as Hora ran out a game winner of the jonjooneillracing.com Handicap at Newcastle.
The Sir Mark Prescott-trained filly was sent off a 3-1 chance in the two-mile event and she kept going in good style to hold Toboggan Lady by a neck, with Blue Jet a further length-and-a-quarter away in third.
Mackay said: ''A horse reared up over me at Sir Mark's at the start of June and I sustained serious ligament damage to my right elbow.
''I had to have surgery to put it right and this is my first winner since I came back two-and-a-half weeks ago.
''I am very grateful to Sir Mark. I have had two spells out through injury and he has stood by me.''
Paul Hanagan completed a juvenile double aboard Resounding Glory and Redford, who holds an entry in the Group One Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster this month.
Resounding Glory (7-1) was having his second start for Richard Fahey as he ran out a length-and-a-quarter winner of the Dream Starts Here/EBF Maiden Stakes.
Fahey was at Goffs Sales but his partner, Vicky Tunnicliffe, said: ''Resounding Glory is a nice horse and he should go on from this, but I don't know whether Richard will run him again this season.
The Michael Bell-trained Redford (7-4) travelled smoothly for Hanagan throughout the Persimmon Homes plc/EBF Maiden Stakes, with the jockey kicking for home two-and-a-half furlongs out.
Redford, who is owned by Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, just had to be pushed out to score by two lengths from Full Speed.
Bell's representative, Chris Conway, said: ''Paul said there was never a moment of doubt today and he was very pleased with him.
''He is in the Racing Post Trophy but I don't know what the boss will do with him now.''
Hanagan said: ''He did it well and I knew we would win a long way out. He has a perfect temperament too.''
Kiwi Bay (6-4 favourite) made it third-time lucky as he claimed the first division of the ACF Sports Promotions Maiden Auction Stakes by two lengths under Phillip Makin.
''I have been waiting for this race for him for a month. He has not been travelling over six furlongs on fast ground,'' said winning handler Michael Dods, from Darlington.
''Phillip said he was in control a long way out and I think he will be a nice horse next year so I might put him away now.''
