Top-weight Quito quits Gold Cup
|
BORDERLESCOTT and The Kiddykid are set to shoulder joint top-
weight in Saturday's totesport Ayr Gold Cup, after it emerged

Goldie's Orientor may be re-routed to Newbury.

the six- furlong handicap. "We definitely don't go," Chapman said.
"He has a trailer to pull."
