Pavlova delight for local hero

Local boy Paul Hanagan had a day to remember at Haydock Park when he booted home a 749-1 treble, highlighted by Anna Pavlova’s victory in the £100,000 totepool Silver Bowl.

There were some tense moments following his big-race success while the stewards inquired into possible interference just over a furlong out concerning the winner, Sir Gerard and Kalankari.
