Frankie Dettori and David Loder made a winning return in Britain through Westbound Road at Lingfield this afternoon.
Westbound Road, lead horse for the 1999 Sagitta 2000 Guineas hero Island Sands, could not have had an easier opportunity to open his account in the Res Maiden Stakes.
The Gone West colt outclassed the opposition, and supporters of the 2-5 favourite never had an anxious moment as the four-year-old cantered home 11 lengths clear of Fly With Me.
Loder is back training at Newmarket after two years supervising Godolphin`s two-year-olds at Evry, France. Dettori has been riding in Dubai this winter.
