Racing League standings: Team Thoroughbid hang on to top spot to set up nail-biting finale with Goat Racing

THE Racing League will go down to a thrilling finale at Newcastle with just four points splitting the top two teams.

A double at Lingfield on Week 5 for Goat Racing meant they closed on narrow leaders Team ThoroughBid.


Victories for Billhilly and Red October, both ridden by the team’s reserve rider Louis Steward, kept Newmarket trainers Charlie Fellowes, Hugo Palmer, Tom Clover and George Scott within four points of ThoroughBid – who lead on 321.

Billhilly won for a second time in the competition, with a dazzling display in the William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Racing League R28 Handicap.

Successful on the all-weather track two weeks ago, Fellowes’ four-year-old repeated the trick on the turf.

Team TalkSport will think they still have a shout of taking the trophy back in third, with Team Swish not completely out of the running.

Team ThoroughBid remain just in front thanks largely to Typhoon Ten (11-1), who strode home in the William Hill Double Your Odds Racing League R27 Handicap.

Sean Levey made a race-winning move when he kicked on two furlongs out. The top weight, trained by Richard Hannon, then pulled away to cross the line three lengths clear of Ajrad.

Steward’s double saw him climb up the jockeys’ table into joint first place with Hayley Turner, on 207 points.

Jack Mitchell is third on 200 points after winning on the Michael Bell-trained Natural Path for Team TalkSport in the William Hill Pick Your Places Racing League R26 Handicap.

The 100-30 joint-favourite got a dream run through on the rail to take the lead and maintain the gallop to score by two lengths.
