Ganthorpe became broodmare Aetna's latest winner as he recorded a first career victory at Carlisle this afternoon in the colours of owner and breeder Brian Padgett.

Ridden by apprentice Lewis Chalkley he took the Andersons - Proudly Local Since 1888 Handicap at the Cumbria track to make it a 100% record for Aetna's racing offspring, joining Copper Mountain, Acrisius and Ratafia.

In a blanket finish Ganthorpe got the better of co-favourite Auspicious by a neck with What A Tahoo a neck behind and then Saxon Grace a head further back in fourth.

Ganthorpe was returned at odds of 13/2 and was losing his maiden tag at the tenth attempt.

The double came up an hour later as Glorious Kitty landed the first division on the Hoover - Performance That Lasts Handicap, making it two wins in her last two starts. The daughter of Cotai Glory was returned as the 9/4 favourite and followed up her maiden victory at Ayr just nine days ago.

Glorious Kitty's win gave jockey Lewis Chalkley his first career double.
