Re: Horse Racing
Light shines on Crop comeback.

Leading Light made the perfect start to his four-year-old campaign with a clear-cut victory in Navan's Coolmore Vintage Crop Stakes.
The Ladbrokes St Leger hero was running for the first time since finishing down the field in the Arc at Longchamp in October and took closer order behind the front-running Royal Diamond with a half a mile to run.
With the latter sticking to the far rail, Joseph O'Brien's mount came down the middle in company with Pale Mimosa, and the even-money favourite loomed large two furlongs out. When asked, Leading Light responded sweetly and went nicely clear in the final 200 yards to win with three lengths in hand from Royal Diamond, who kept on well to take second.
