Re: Horse Racing
Astaire leads home Ryan one-two.

Astaire put up an ultra-game performance when making all the running to land the Vision.ae Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket.
Winner of the Gimcrack Stakes on his previous start, the Kevin Ryan-trained colt gained a couple of lengths on his rivals when accelerating two furlongs out, but the 8-1 shot was pushed hard in the final furlong by his stablemate Hot Streak.
He was still half a length ahead at the line, however, with Justice Day a length and a half further away in third, while Aidan O'Brien's 2-1 favourite Great White Eagle never threatened and was a big disappointment.
