Mr Cool too hot for rivals

Mr Cool rolled back the years to spring a 33-1 shock in the opening race at Haydock Park today.

Martin Pipe’s 11-year-old had not won since he landed a Grade Two event at Ascot in November 2003 and as a result had slipped down the weights and carried just 10st 4lb in the Stanleybet Long Distance Handicap Hurdle.
