Marchand D'Or takes July Cup win
Marchand D'Or takes July Cup win (as tipped by Bigtips.co.uk)
French challenger Marchand D'Or inched out the Aidan O'Brien-trained US Ranger on the line to win the Darley July Cup at Newmarket.
Jockey Davy Bonilla settled his mount at the back in the six-furlong sprint but he judged the run to perfection.
In a keenly contested encounter, the 5-2 favourite came through on the rails late on to overhaul US Ranger and the pace-setter War Artist.
It made up for his fourth-place finish to Sakhee's Secret 12 months ago.
Trainer Freddie Head, who won the race as a jockey on Anabaa 12 years ago, said: "I am delighted.
"For me it's a great thrill. I won it as a jockey and now I've won it as a trainer. "I love the horse. He's not the best ride you can find. He's a bit difficult but he gave him a good ride. Davy waited and waited. When I heard the result I was quite happy."
