FORMER champion apprentice Frederick Tylicki recorded a 14-1 double at Royal Windsor Racecourse on Bank Holiday Monday.
Tylicki, who was crowned British flat racing champion apprentice in 2009, got off the mark with the impressive Just Us Two (100-30).
The German-born jockey then steered Craftsmanship (5-2 favourite) from last to first to complete his double at the Berkshire track.
The first race was a six-furlong contest for two-year-olds that Maccus (14-1) won decisively under Jimmy Fortune.
Coming out of the pack to lead a furlong out, he drew three lengths clear of runner-up Arlecchino’s Rock (14-1). Trainer Brian Meehan will be considering an entry at Royal Ascot for the winner.
Sean Levey repeated his course and distance winning tactics of a fortnight ago on Divine Law (11-2) in the one mile handicap for three-year-olds.
The Richard Hannon-trained colt made the running, kicked on at the intersection and kept on gamely, keeping No Delusion (11-4 joint-favourite) at bay by a length.
The five-furlong maiden for three-year-olds went to Fast Dancer (evens favourite).
Wearing cheekpieces for the first time, he broke a sequence of four seconds in a row when making virtually all the running.
Fast Dancer came four and a half lengths clear of Henley (11-4) in the final furlong. James Doyle rode the winner for Joseph Tuite.
A five furlong handicap for three-year-olds produced quite an impressive display from Just Us Two.
Tylicki restrained him for most of the race before driving into the lead entering the final furlong to score by a length from Francisco (15-8 favourite).
Trainer Robert Cowell is renowned for his sprinters that improve over time and Just Us Two looks a good long-term prospect.
Tylicki was on the scoreboard again when he piloted Robert Eddery’s Craftsmanship from last to first in the one and a quarter mile handicap.
The betting indicated this would be an open race, but once Craftsmanship came down the outside and hit the front with a furlong to go he ran on strongly for a clear-cut win.
He had three quarters of a length to spare over runner-up Solo Hunter (9-2) at the post.
A fillies’ handicap over a mile and a half drew a surprisingly easy triumph for Special Miss (2-1), from the Ali Stronge yard.
Despite suffering interference at the start, she travelled well and took the lead two furlongs out.
Under a hands and heels ride from Jim Crowley, Special Miss finished eight lengths clear of Percys Princess (11-8 favourite) The best finish of the day came in the last race over six furlongs.
Brian Gubby has only a few horses in his Bagshot yard, but most of them are winners and Kinglami (7-2) added to his two previous course and distance successes.
With Richard Kingscote in the saddle, he deprived Shingle (9-2) of his narrow lead in the last few strides to win by a head.
Racing returns to Royal Windsor on Monday for a seven-race card which starts at 5.55pm and features a Listed Stakes over six furlongs.
The contest, worth a guaranteed £37,000, could include up to seven course and distance winners, such as Tropics, Musical Comedy and Morache Music.
High class horses Pretend, Naadirr, Eastern Impact, Intibaah and Outback Traveller have also been entered into one of the course’s top races.
