Re: Horse Racing
FAN SPRINGS MILE SURPRISE.

Quote:
Hot favourite Carlton House could only dead-heat for fourth as 33-1 shot Fanunalter sprang a major surprise in the Transformers & Rectifiers Summer Mile Stakes at Ascot.
Sir Michael Stoute's charge, in the colours of The Queen, was all the rage as he dropped back to a mile after chasing home So You Think in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes.
Ryan Moore stayed close to the pace throughout, but was unable to pick up when it mattered and Fanunalter, having his first start for trainer Michael Wigham, could be spotted travelling kindly in behind in the hands of Olivier Peslier before finding a gap to beat Pastoral Player by a neck.
