Lucky Spin dropped down to six furlongs for the first time in her career at York yesterday and showed she has enough speed to make her mark as a sprinter.

Lucky Spin was well beaten when she visited York for the Royal Ascot meeting last month, but it was a totally different story at the sun-drenched course today.

Darlington owner David Metcalfe’s run of success continued when Mecca’s Mate won the Grampian Country Food Group Handicap at York today in the hands of Fergal Lynch.
