Sanders sways Rival

Amanda Sanders was highly praised after riding Rival Bid to victory at Leicester yesterday. The 23-year-old apprentice brought Norma Macauley's gelding with a well-judged challenge to beat Richard Hills on El Bailador by three quarters of a length.

At the same track, Alan Daly, the apprentice partner of runner-up Edan Heights, was handed a two-day suspension for improper riding.
