McDonald times things to perfection to give Menzies a double

Rebecca Menzies and PJ McDonald stole the show with a quickfire double courtesy of the well-backed pair Landing Night and Trautmann.

Menzies, whose yard is predominantly jumps-orientated, was full of praise for the in-form McDonald's last-to-first rides.

"I'd love to have more Flat horses as having moved to Sedgefield two seasons ago we have Newcastle just up the road," said Menzies, who timed the win of Landing Night to perfection as Newcastle-based Platinum Racing had a box at their local track to shout their sprinter home.
