In-form favourites score again at Newmarket

The red, blue and white colours of Favourites Racing were in the winner’s enclosure for the fourth time from their last six runners as Crosspeace took the honours in the opening contest on UltimatePoker.com 1000 Guineas Day at Newmarket today.

Royston Ffrench delivered Mark Johnston’s charge, a 9-2 chance, with a well-timed run to overhaul Intoxicating inside the final strides and edge ahead for a neck verdict in the Curtis Medical Handicap.
