Re: Horse Racing
Diamond sparkles for Murtagh.

Quote:
Johnny Murtagh's unbelievable season continued as he brought Royal Diamond with a storming late run to pip Harris Tweed in the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot.
Murtagh has farmed many of the big races this campaign but Royal Diamond, whom he also trains, was sent off at 20-1 after running a lifeless race in the Irish St Leger, which he had won the year before.
Harris Tweed appeared to have fought off all his rivals with a brave bid from the front, but Murtagh made up late ground to pounce by a nose right on the line, with another three-quarters of a length to Eye Of The Storm in third.
