Nimello makes handicap history Nimello created a piece of handicap history when winning Britain`s big betting race of the Bank Holiday at Kempton today. Paul Cole`s five-year-old sent favourite backers home in happy mood by lifting Doubleprint Stakes. And the victory meant he became the first horse to win both this race, which had been run as the Jubilee Stakes from 1897 until a new sponsor changed its name last year, and the Lincoln (founded in 1853) in the same season. It also saw the gelding take his earnings through the stg£100,000 mark. Nimello had a wall of horses in front of him in the home straight but found a way through to cut down the leader Bold King well inside the final furlong to land the spoils by one and a quarter lengths. Nimello had won the Lincoln on his previous start in late March and Cole said: 'The plan was always to go for this. And he did well to get up. He really only goes on this ground and he might go for a Group Two in Italy at the end of the month.' Richard Hills decision to go for a daring run between horses in the closing stages of the Tripleprint Handicap paid off by galvanising reluctant hero Admirals Place to provide trainer Hugh Collingridge with a first strike of the season. Monica Geller gained compensation for her intended target being washed away at Sandown last month when storming to a six length triumph in the Bonusprint Handicap. Michael Jarvis and Philip Robinson picked up where they left off from Ameerat`s success in Sunday`s Sagitta 1000 Guineas when delivering favourite Pulau Tioman to win the Bonusfilm Conditions Stakes. Ameerat`s owner, Sheikh Ahmed, who is currently in Dubai, was also on the scoreboard thanks to Hakeyma, who landed odds of 1-2 when seeing off two rivals without fuss in the Bonusphoto EBF Fillies Conditions Stakes under Frankie Dettori.
