Overview

• Run Boy Run (12/1) held Desert Falcon by a neck from a low draw to land the Ladbrokes Ayr Gold Cup.
• Earlier on the card, Candy won the Ladbrokes Ayr Silver Cup to give the same trainer–owner–jockey trio both feature sprints.
• Trainer Richard Spencer said he and George Wood agreed to ride more positively after Run Boy Run’s encouraging Portland run last week.
• The Candy–Run Boy Run double was reported at cumulative odds of 116-1, rewarding followers of the yard.
• George Wood became the first jockey since 2014 to win both Silver and Gold Cups on the day, with owner Phil Cunningham calling the outcome “amazing.”
