At the top of the table with 368.5 points, Team talkSPORT consisted of trainers Michael Bell, Ed Dunlop, James Fanshawe and Roger Varian. They will split £60,000 between them. Team talkSPORT's jockeys, led by Jack Mitchell, will divide £30,000, as will the yard staff of the trainers and the owners whose horses made up the successful team.

Michael Bell's brother Rupert Bell, who co-managed the winning team with fellow broadcaster Alan Brazil, said, “I think it's been fantastic. I'm the Pep Guardiola of the racing manager world–Alan Brazil had absolutely nothing to do with it. I've been at every meeting and well done to the trainers and all their staff. Fair play to them.

“You can't knock the stable staff getting £30,000–that's fantastic. There'll be one hell of a party at Fitzroy House [Michael Bell's yard]–I better get invited.”

In second place at the end of the evening was eToro Racing with 359.5 points and Team ThoroughBid was third with 351 points. Thursday's two-time winner Jack Mitchell (276.5 points) was top of the standings among jockeys and earned £25,000, with six wins overall. Hayley Turner was runner-up with 231 points. Her prize was £15,000. In third place was Saffie Osborne, who took home £10,000.

Goat Racing-comprising Newmarket trainers Charlie Fellowes, Hugo Palmer, Tom Clover and George Scott-cut into Team Thoroughbid's lead with two wins at Lingfield, both with the team's reserve rider Louis Steward in the saddle. The horses were the Palmer-trained Red October (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) and the Fellowes-trained Billhilly (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), the latter of which won another Racing League event two weeks ago.

Steward told Sky Sports Racing: “I'm delighted for the horse, and delighted for Charlie and the team, everyone at home and the owners. They've done such a good job with this horse, just to revive his career. It's so good to see, and great to be on his back today.”

Steward now sits in joint-first with Hayley Turner in the Racing League jockeys' standings.

Team Thoroughbid had one win on Thursday thanks to the Richard Hannon-trained and Sean Levey-ridden Typhoon Ten (Ire) (Slade Power {Ire}).

“We are smashing it tonight,” Team Swish racing manager Rosie Tapner told Sky Sports Racing. “I'm going to go over the top here because it's so exciting, two winners and we are flying above the leaderboard, it's great!

“I have ridden both horses, I can't take credit for them but I'm going to tonight. They're such lovely horses, I am so thrilled and Saffie must be as well. She has done amazingly, she's just absolutely flown and we've loved having her.

“We can give it over to Kieran Shoemark and Adam Kirby as well, we've got a great team. I'm hoping we can keep on flying up and if we dip down, we'll give others a chance and then throw it back at Newcastle.”

Team ThoroughBid jockey Hayley Turner booted home Richard Hannon trainee Typhoon Ten (Ire) (Slade Power {Ire}) for her second win of the series, while Team talkSPORT's Mitchell was aboard another winner with Lydford (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) from the yard of Roger Varian. In third place is Goat Racing, and they had a winner with Billhilly (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) from Charlie Fellowes's yard.
