King George VI Chase: Long Run wins in thrilling finish

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/20831627

Quote:
The 15-8 favourite Long Run claimed victory in a thrilling finish to the King George VI Chase at Kempton to win the race for a second time.

Amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen's mount made a bad mistake five out and also struggled over the final fence under pressure from Captain Chris.

Captain Chris, who was third last year, had come out of the pack to challenge and jumped the last strongly.
But last year's Gold Cup winner dug deep on the run-in to win by a neck.
