Unbelievable
RACING: Harry Herbert is still on cloud nine following Harbinger’s scarcely believable display in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.The Dansili colt was tackling Group One company for the first time in the Betfair-sponsored contest but barely came off the bridle in breaking the course record and scoring by 11 lengths.“I don’t think it’s really sunk in for any of us and it was one of those rare racecourse performances where it is difficult to believe it actually happened,” he said.
Alistair 10th
TRIATHLON: Alistair Brownlee’s winning run in triathlon’s World Championship Series came to an end in dramatic fashion in London yesterday.The 22-year-old from Dewsbury was in the leading trio heading into the final stages of the run but, clearly exhausted, eventually staggered over the line in 10th place before being rushed to the medical tent.
