Sussex trainer Gary Moore started Fontwell Park's late summer and autumn schedule as he means to go with a double at Ladies' Evening.

Each of his jump-jockey sons rode a winner for the man who’s never far from the winner’s enclosure at the track.

His successes came within the first three races of a fixture which was well-attended and began a busy few weeks for the racecourse.

First Mr Fickle (11/2) was ridden to victory in the Netbet Sport Handicap Hurdle by Josh Moore with plenty in hand – six lengths the distance back to runner-up Sea’s Aria.

That was a much closer contest with only three-quarters of a length separating the winner and 6/5 favourtie Competition.

The fixture was unusual in that only one favourite won any of the six contests.
