SPRINTER SPARKLES IN TINGLE TRIUMPH

Quote:
Sprinter Sacre ran out a hugely impressive winner of the the Sportingbet Tingle Creek Chase on his seasonal bow at Sandown.
Nicky Henderson's charge (4-11 favourite), unbeaten in five starts over fences, chased his main rival Sanctuaire but assumed control from the Pond Fence and accelerated away to claim the Grade One prize by 15 lengths.
Sprinter Sacre was a little keen early on as the pair built up a healthy advantage over the rest of the field, but Barry Geraghty soon had him lobbing along nicely and the manner in which he reeled in Sanctuaire could hardly have been more impressive. Kumbeshwar grabbed seond spot late on.
