Re: Horse Racing
Choir hits winning note.

Quote:
Gospel Choir justified favouritism when edging out chief market rival Tac De Boistron in the Sky Bet Yorkshire Cup at York.
Winner of the Jockey Club Stakes last time out, Sir Michael Stoute's five-year-old was stepping up in trip under the unstoppable Ryan Moore and was sent off at 7-2.
Moore was keen not to hit the front too early and plenty held chances with a furlong to run, but Gospel Choir took over and went a length clear. Tac De Boistron, racing on ground faster than he prefers and over a trip short of his best, came from out of the pack and was closing with every stride to get to within a neck. It was a further half-length to Tiger Cliff.
