Barzalona Double


French youngster Mickael Barzalona is clearly the jockey find of the year and he continued the remarkable start to his British raids with a double at Newbury.

As Barzalona speaks little English, a conversation with Dandy Nicholls would have made fascinating listening, but something must have sunk in as Light From Mars (14-1) headed Pintura in the totescoop6 Spring Cup.

And Barzalona later helped his more regular employers Godolphin to win division one of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship Maiden Stakes aboard Laajooj (11-4), who had left Michael Jarvis for Mahmood Al Zarooni.
