Mineshaft lands Woodward win

American runner Mineshaft saw off the challenge of Aidan O’Brien’s Hold That Tiger to take the £500,000 (€712,000) Grade One Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday.

The four-year-old, who was trained by John Gosden before switching to Neil Howard’s yard, was up with the pace for much of the nine furlong race, sitting in fourth while Thompson Rouge and Northern Rock set the tempo.
