Sport in brief: Lynam's Slade Power seals July Cup

Horse trainer Eddie Lynam

HORSE RACING: Slade Power claimed a summer sprint double by easing to victory in the July Cup at Newmarket yesterday.

Trained by Eddie Lynam, the five-year-old was a heavily-supported 7/4 favourite following his maiden Group One victory in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes last month and although he got warm before the off, it clearly had no effect on his performance.
