Jockey Kaiya Fraser achieved his first career Group victory on Tuesday, piloting the unbeaten colt Dr Rascal to a narrow win in the Group Two Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
The Oliver Cole-trained two-year-old, a son of Sottsass, prevailed in a tight three-way battle against runner-up Haffner and third-placed Al Hudaiba.

Fraser secured his 37th win of the season after a bold inside-rail maneuver in the closing stages.
Dr Rascal entered the race off a victory at Ascot, where he ran loose before the start but still won by two and a quarter lengths over Rising Tiger.
In Tuesday's feature, Fraser positioned the colt in midfield for the first two furlongs before challenging long-time leader Pikachu in the home straight.
Jockey and Trainer Reactions
Fraser expressed his delight after the milestone win. "It's a big thrill," he said.
"I'm delighted with a first Group winner and in a Group Two on a nice two-year-old, it makes me look forward to the future."
He added: "I was travelling all over the back of the Amo horse [Pikachu] and the gap was wide enough for me to go through.
I knew how much horse I had underneath me after riding him the previous two times."
