Jockey Kaiya Fraser achieved the biggest win of his career on July 28, 2026, guiding the unbeaten colt Dr Rascal to victory in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
The 23-year-old jockey navigated a tight gap along the inside rail near the final furlong aboard the 13-2 chance, defeating Aidan O'Brien's runner Haffner by half a length.

The 5-4 favourite Al Hudaiba finished a short head behind in third.
The victory gave trainer Oliver Cole his first success in a race his father Paul previously won three times.
The homebred colt, owned by Charlie and Julia Rosier, maintained a perfect three-for-three record.
Fraser Overcomes Pre-Race Difficulties
Fraser overcame pre-race difficulties with the colt, who required extra assistance loading into the starting stalls following a past incident.
"It means everything, this is what we wake up for every morning," Fraser said.
The jockey highlighted the collective effort required to achieve the milestone win at the prestigious festival.
"I've put so much hard work in to get where I am today and all the people around who have helped me – my agent James Forrest and all the owners and trainers who put me up," Fraser said.
He expressed appreciation for the opportunities provided by the horse's connections.
"I'm very grateful to them and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them," Fraser said.
Reflecting on the pre-race routine, Fraser acknowledged the horse's temperament inside the gate.
