Re: Horse Racing
Universal strikes for Johnston

Quote:
Mark Johnston's Universal continued his progression by winning the Group Two Qatar Bloodstock Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket.
Joe Fanning set out to make all in the four-runner field on the John Porter winner, but Dandino challenged hard and took up the running two furlongs out.
The threat probably helped Universal as on meeting the rising ground, he had something to aim at, and the 11-4 chance battled back to run out a neck winner.
Frankel's brother Noble Mission had finished behind Universal last time out but was sent off favourite to make amends, although he never looked like winning this time
