SRI PUTRA THE YORK HERO.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Sri Putra foiled a plunge on Afsare to land a dramatic Sky Bet York Stakes on the Knavesmire for Roger Varian and Neil Callan.
The eventual winner's stablemate Pekan Star cut out a modest early pace, but two furlongs out the Kieren Fallon-ridden Afsare swept powerfully to the front.
He drifted across to the stands rail, however, and Sri Putra (12-1) challenged to his left under Callan, finding plenty for pressure. Afsare did not go down without a fight but the 9-4 favourite was a neck adrift at the line, with Side Glance third.
