Re: Horse Racing
Dank edges home in thriller

Quote:
Sir Michael Stoute's Dank may have booked her ticket to Royal Ascot after claiming a thrilling renewal of the Qatar Bloodstock Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket.
Saturday's course winner Boonga Roogeta led for the early part of the Group Three race as she chased an audacious 24-hour double, but soon gave way to Thistle Bird, who in turn was tackled by Dank and Chigun heading inside the final furlong.
Dank (4-1) and Ryan Moore looked to have won the argument as they fought it out, but Chigun came back tenaciously under Tom Queally to almost join her on the line. The judge called Dank the winner by a short head.
