Jockey William Buick, who lives at Letcombe Regis, near Wantage, posted the biggest success of his burgeonning career aboard Lahaleeb in the Grade 1 EP Taylor Stakes at Woodbine in Canada on Saturday.

Buick powered West Ilsley trainer Mick Channon’s filly home by a length and three-quarters from fellow British raider Rainbow View to take the $1m contest.
