Re: Horse Racing
Perfect 10 for super Sacre.

Sprinter Sacre stretched his unbeaten record over fences to 10 with a commanding victory in the Boylesports.com Champion Chase at Punchestown.
Nicky Henderson's superstar, sent off the 1-9 favourite, was made to work harder than usual as admirable veteran Sizing Europe set out to make all under Andrew Lynch and refused to give in when challenged for the lead at the second-last fence.
Sprinter Sacre, who travelled well throughout, held the advantage at the last and then responded well to Barry Geraghty's urgings to clear away for victory by five and a half lengths in front of an appreciative crowd.
