Racehorse owner Bill Davis has waited 26 years to experience the euphoria of having a horse cross the finish line in a winning position.

The luck of 87-year-old Mr Davis finally changed at Lingfield when Ayr of Elegance, trained by Philip Hide, ran to victory.

Mr Davis told Carolyn Quinn "it took a lot of money" but he was hoping to carry on "especially now I've had a winner".
