Mark Wallinger and his horse
Artist Mark Wallinger was still celebrating the success of his white horse design being chosen to be the Ebbsfleet landmark, when his very own horse romped home in a flat race.

The Turner Prize winning artist owns a share of Riviera Red, which was first past the post in the 2.40pm race at Lingfield at odds of 11/2.

The nine-year-old gelding beat off eight other rides at the Surrey racecourse to take the prize money of £1,619.

The horse, trained by L Montague Hall was second favourite before the start of the race that saw its first win of the season.
