Re: Horse Racing
Daly lifts season's finale.

Quote:
Quentin Collonges got the better of Same Difference in a thrilling finish to lift the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown.
Andrew Tinkler was always prominent aboard the Henry Daly-trained 14-1 shot and with three fences to jump he was among a handful of horses in contention and travelling well, including favourite Away We Go, who then crashed through the second-last.
In the end it was left to Quentin Collonges and Same Difference to slug it out, with Sam Twiston-Davies looking pretty confident on the latter. They took the last together and Same Difference edged ahead, only for Tinkler to ask his mount for one last push which proved decisive as he pulled two lengths clear at the line
