Re: Horse Racing
Ebor hero held in high Regard.

Mutual Regard gave former top-class jockey Johnny Murtagh a headline winner as a trainer with victory in the Betfred Ebor at York.
Given a cool ride by 5lb claimer Louis Steward, the 20-1 chance was handy just off the pace cut out by Dare To Achieve, with Retirement Plan and Mighty Yar others towards the fore early on.
The eventual winner could be spotted moving strongly down the straight in his cheekpieces, and when Steward eased to the front inside the two-furlong marker he had enough in the tank to get the better of a battle with Van Percy by a length and a quarter.
