Re: Horse Racing
Sparkling show from super Sacre.

Sprinter Sacre put up yet another superb performance to win the John Smith's Melling Chase at Aintree.
Taking on top-class horses over two and a half miles for the first time, the imposing seven-year-old (1-3 favourite) travelled just off the pace set by Cue Card and Flemenstar in the Grade One contest.
His stable companion Finian's Rainbow took over turning into the straight, but in the end it was Cue Card who provided the sternest opposition, though Barry Geraghty sauntered past just as he liked on Sprinter Sacre and Nicky Henderson's star was eased down as he passed the post four and a half lengths in front.

Simply magnificent.
