Big Mojo soars to Sprint Cup success

Big Mojo sprang a surprise as he ran out a 16-1 winner of the Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock.

Trained by Mick Appleby and ridden by William Buick, the son of Mohaather had finished a narrow second in the July Cup on his penultimate run but he unleashed a telling effort in the final furlong to get his head in front on Merseyside.

Last year’s second Kind Of Blue filled the runner-up spot again, with fellow Wathnan Racing-owned runner Flora Of Bermuda in third. Favourite Lazzat finished fifth in the same silks.
