Nicholls takes Gold Cup with Regal Parade

David Nicholls once again lived up to his 'Sprint King' moniker as he sent out Regal Parade to lead home a one-two in the John Smith's Ayr Gold Cup today.

Nicholls has become somewhat of a dominant force in the six-furlong contest and Regal Parade's two-and-a-quarter-length defeat of stablemate Tajneed was a fifth victory in the race for the Yorkshire handler.
