Re: Horse Racing
Tizzard plays ace Card.

Quote:
Cue Card dispelled stamina doubts as he led from pillar-to-post to win a top-class renewal of the Betfair Chase at Haydock.
Colin Tizzard's Ryanair Chase hero had only run over three miles once before, in last season's King George, where he made early mistakes in heavy ground.
Allowed an easy lead over three miles and a furlong on this occasion, Joe Tizzard was able to dictate his own pace, and though last year's winner Silviniaco Conti looked a big danger three from home, as did Dynaste, the jockey had still not asked for everything and after jumping the last Cue Card (9-1) sprinted clear to win by four and a half lengths.
