Road to glory for Fonthill
Fonthill Road proved perceived wisdom wrong by landing the totesport Ayr Gold Cup on the supposedly unfavoured far side of the track.
The six-year-old, trained by Richard Fahey and ridden by Paul Hanagan, was short-headed 12 months ago, but went one better in dramatic style this time.
Only three horses stayed on the far side from their low draws and it was Fonthill Road (16-1) who took the spoils by a length.
Borderlescott (11-2) was second, with Advanced (40-1) a head away third and Coleorton Dancer (25-1) fourth.
