Another for Metcalfe's good mate

Darlington owner David Metcalfe’s run of success continued when Mecca’s Mate won the Grampian Country Food Group Handicap at York today in the hands of Fergal Lynch.

The David Barker-trained filly (5-1) burst into the lead over a furlong from home and ran right to the line to score by one and three-quarter lengths from Whistler, with Fictional a head away in third.
