US Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith was able to celebrate a winner on his first ever ride in Britain as odds-on Gentlemans Code was pushed out to win the 5f maiden.
Trained by Wesley Ward, who saddled another two-year-old maiden winner in France an hour before Folkestone started, favourite Gentlemans Code read his linesperfectly as he made just about all of the running to score from Bear Behind.
Famed for his partnership with the charismatic US wondermare Zenyatta, Smith had been forced to delay taking his first ride in Britain until Thursday after the UK Border Agency advised him that riding at Lingfield on Tuesday would be in breach of his visa.
