Baracouda's walk victory no stroll

Baracouda was the major star on show at the weekend and he did not disappoint his legion of fans with a battling display to win a thrilling Long Walk Hurdle at Windsor.

It was the great French horse’s fourth victory in the Telectronics Systems-sponsored race, which was switched from its usual home at Ascot as the builders are in at the Berkshire track.
