Light goes out on Windsor punters
There was high drama in the penultimate race at Windsor this evening when Echo Of Light threw away a winning chance in the Christine Sharp Maiden Stakes.

That left market rival Sir Edward Elgar in front and Jimmy Fortune’s mount was not stretched to come three and a half lengths in front of Lady Diktat.
