Tizzard team keep Card faith

Jockey Joe Tizzard has lost none of his faith in Cue Card, despite snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in the William Hill King George VI Chase.

The seven-year-old, trained by his father Colin, looked like landing Kempton’s showpiece over three miles on heavy ground but he weakened dramatically in the closing stages and was passed by Silviniaco Conti.

Despite the agonising defeat, the Tizzard team were still delighted with the run.
