Geraghty’s kindness to Sprinter Sacre at Ascot could well reap a rich dividend

I was a little surprised at how much negativity there was about after Sprinter Sacre’s return at Ascot last Saturday, says Pat Keane.

Racing, probably even more than other sport, doesn’t half divide opinion and, no sooner had Sprinter Sacre passed the post at Ascot, than just about every shade was quickly represented.

A lot of observers opined that the horse will never be the same again and plenty seemed to think he is essentially finished.
