Coltrane claims surprise Doncaster Cup verdict

Hot favourite Trueshan has to settle for second on Town Moor.

Coltrane dug deep to shock Trueshan in the Cazoo Doncaster Cup.

A race controlled for much of the way by Frankie Dettori and Lismore, the two-and-a-quarter-mile showpiece turned into something of a sprint and try as Alan King’s long odds-on Trueshan might under Hollie Doyle, he could never quite get on terms.

The Henry de Bromhead-trained Lismore refused to buckle, either, but in a pulsating finish it was the Andrew Balding-trained Coltrane (9-1) and David Probert who had enough to score by a neck from Trueshan.
