Star shines as Ryan's Gold Cup horse shows Ayr what they missed

If you're good enough to represent Kevin Ryan in the Ayr Gold Cup you're probably pretty talented and Teruntum Star proved the point – albeit a little late.

Three weeks ago he was due to be the sole runner for a man who has won Scotland's richest Flat race three times in the last six years, only for waterlogging to put paid to the meeting.

The five-year-old showed how close he might have gone in that £200,000 feature by landing the Coral Sprint Trophy in good style, coming home a length and three quarters clear under Kevin Stott.
