Injured Missunited retired after Goodwood win

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise had added more than a touch of glamour when appearing to present the prize for the Magnolia Cup charity race but trainer Mick Winters brought something entirely different to the occasion at Glorious Goodwood yesterday.

The Cork trainer, dressed in sandals and a Panama hat, is usually at the Galway this week, where his wonderful mare Missunited had won last year’s Galway Hurdle before turning her attentions to the Flat.

Missunited (3-1 favourite) had been given an outstanding ride from Jim Crowley to finish third in the Gold Cup and was just as tenacious in holding off all-comers in the Sterling Insurance Lillie Langtry Stakes.
