Racing: Dunlop back to form

John Dunlop, who underwent life-saving heart surgery in the winter, showed he and his horses are back in good health by landing a 44-1 double with Kootenay and Flat Spin in the first Classic trials of the season at Kempton.

And the veteran trainer, now fully recovered from the ruptured aorta which put him close to death, made it a one-two in the Blue Square Masaka Stakes albeit in the wrong order as far punters were concerned.
