Re: Horse Racing
Wokingham glory for York

Quote:
Jamie Spencer partnered York Glory to a clear-cut victory in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Held up right at the back of the pack, Kevin Ryan's grey got a perfect split on the inside of Shropshire and the 14-1 chance powered home to give the trainer a second winner of the week after Lightning Cloud's success on Friday in the Buckingham Palace Stakes.
Kieren Fallon kicked early on the well-backed Gabriel's Lad but he looked a sitting duck a furlong out and Shropshire made eyecatching progress to hit the front, but Spencer always looked to have his measure and galloped clear to win by a length and three-quarters. Dinkum Diamond was third, with Khubala fourth and Glass Office fifth.
