Record could be left shared as Stand Guard could stand down

Stand Guard will have to wait to make history – and that wait could just be permanent.

Having equalled La Estrella's total of 27 all-weather victories at Kempton last week, he went off 5-2 favourite to claim the record outright by defying a 6lb penalty in division two of the 1m3f handicap.

But he could manage no more than a laboured fourth place, beaten just over six lengths behind winner Moojaned under Liam Keniry.
