Tominator cracks second Plate.

Quote:
Tominator came with a storming late run under Graham Lee to land the John Smith's Northumberland Plate at Newcastle for the second time.
The Jonjo O'Neill-trained grey, who won the prestigious prize in 2011 when with Reg Hollinshead, had plenty to do in the closing stages as Oriental Fox burst clear and made the best of his way home.
But Tominator (8-1), despite carrying the burden of top weight, made remorseless progress and nailed his rival close home to snatch the race by a short head in a pulsating finish, with a further length and a quarter to Brockwell in third. Mubaraza finished fourth.
