TRUESHAN SADNESS AS WAYNE WINS

SCANDINAVIA (4-1) won the battle of Ballydoyle as he ground out victory from favourite Illinois in the Goodwood Cup.

However the feature race on a murky day in was marred by a fatal injury to popular stayer Trueshan.

The nine-year-old was taking part in a fourth edition when he was abruptly pulled up by jockey Hollie Doyle with six furlongs to go.

The incident overshadowed the tussle for supremacy between the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair, who had the £283,550 first prize in safekeeping with a furlong to run.

And Scandinavia showed superior staying power to thwart Illinois (7-4f) by three-quarters-of a length, despite being the lesser fancied of the two.
