A review of the rest of Saturday afternoon's meeting at York where Jack Garritty rode a 194-1 treble.

Jack Garritty kept up the pressure on Tom Marquand in their duel for the apprentice jockeys championship when landing a 194-1 treble at York.

The 19-year-old son of former jump jockey Russ Garritty, struck on Chancery, Donjuan Triumphant and Gleese The Devil as he rode out of his claim and took his career tally to 97.

"I'll give the apprentice title a go," he said as he named his Group Three winner Eastern Impact as his highlight of the year.

Donjuan Triumphant could get the chance to be a Group winner if he makes a quick reappearance in a Group Two contest at Maisons-Laffitte after his success in the coral.co.uk Rockingham Stakes.

Garritty gave the Richard Fahey-trained Donjuan Triumphant (9-4 favourite) every encouragement from the saddle and his mount responded to his urging to run out a length-and-a-quarter winner over Dhahmaan.

Fahey said: "This horse was very keen when he first came from the breeze-ups. I couldn't really train him, but a bit of racing has changed him.

"There's a race in France on Friday. We were contemplating which to do but we might do the two, we'll see how he is.

"I'm delighted for Jack that he's ridden out his claim. It's nice he's got a winner straight after losing his claim."

That all-important 95th career success for Garritty came on Chancery (9-1), a two-and-a-quarter-length winner of the Download The Coral App Stakes from Off Art.

"He's a hold-up horse so everything fell right for him. They went a good gallop and he picked up well," said Garritty.

Gleese The Devil (5-1 favourite) completed Garritty's treble with a gutsy display to lift the TitanBet.co.uk Stayers Stakes by a neck from Hidden Justice.

"He's the horse I know who eats his own tail. He'll eat anything," said Fahey.

"He's a half-brother to Angel Gabriel and I'm sure his owner (Dr Marwan Koukash) would like to go for the Chester Cup, but he'll have to step up."

Garritty was denied a four-timer when the Fahey-trained Prying Pandora was beaten a length by stablemate Garcia ridden by Tony Hamilton.

Fahey said of his third winner on the card: "That will be him finished for the year now. We had to geld him as he was too colty. He should do well in handicaps next year."

Jordan Vaughan was taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle after being unshipped from Never Give In on the way to the start of that race.

Arthenus (100-30 favourite) signed off for the season by completing a hat-trick in the TitanBet.co.uk Stakes.

The James Fanshawe-trained gelding followed up wins at Nottingham and Ascot with a head verdict over Librisa Breeze in the hands of Freddie Tylicki.

"We think he'll be a good horse next year," said co-owner Andrew Coombs.

"He was very slow to develop and he also put a nail through his foot and chipped his pedal bone, so that set him back. We've had to be patient."
