Swinburn won eight English Classics as a jockey
|
Triple Derby-winning jockey Walter Swinburn saddled his first winner as a trainer when Grand Show won a maiden race at Lingfield.
It was the eighth runner that Swinburn had sent out since he took over his father-in-law Peter Harris' yard at the beginning of the month.
The 7-4 favourite was ridden by Richard Quinn and carried the colours of Harris's wife Caryl.
The 42-year-old Swinburn rode Shergar to victory in the Epsom Derby at the age of 19 but retired from race-riding in 2000 because of weight problems.
"That was much more nerve-wracking
watching than it ever was when I was riding," said Swinburn.
