Azertyuiop takes over at top

Azertyuiop galloped to the top of the BHB’s Order Of Merit leaderboard this afternoon despite coming off second best to Moscow Flyer in the William Hill Tingle Creek Trophy at Sandown Park.

The seven-year-old’s owner John Hales was understandably disappointed to fill the runner-up berth, but was glad to be heading the table at this stage of the season.
