Faheys revel in Air raid

North Yorkshire's formidable husband and wife team of Richard and Vicki Fahey claimed the opener on Ascot's big Saturday card through easy winner Castles In The Air. The Longines Handicap is one of the major ladies' races of the year and it was smooth sailing for Vicki Fahey as she cruised into the lead at the furlong marker and surged four and a half lengths clear on the 9-1 shot. Golden Desert, the 5-1 favourite and mount of Katie Walsh, was second. "Amazingly, it all went to plan," said the jockey. "I spoke to Jim McGrath (owner) this morning and he just said ride him as you find him. "That's my third winner, and the second since I was married. I said to Richard if I win this and the ladies' race at York, I'll retire."
