Waiting tactics pay big dividends as locals steal the show in Ebor

MOYENNE Corniche and apprentice rider Dale Swift were the toast of York on Saturday as they teamed up for a local success in the Betfred Ebor.

The one-mile-six-furlong contest is the namesake of the entire meeting and Rotherham-born Swift, 25, admitted it had always been an ambition to win the big handicap.

He employed excellent waiting tactics aboard the 25-1 shot to come from the rear to claim Europe’s richest handicap by a length from the Queen’s horse Tactician, with Investissement third and Modun fourth.
