Dinos sore after Gold Cup defeat

MR DINOS (above) is “very sore” after his run in the Ascot Gold Cup at the Royal meeting on Thursday.

The Paul Cole-trained gelding lost his stayers' crown when finishing only sixth of the 13 runners behind impressive winner Papineau in a race run on very fast ground.

"Mr Dinos is really sore, but it's jarred sore rather than a specific injury. Some horses can go on it, but I don't think many go on it like that," Cole said yesterday.
