FAIRYTALE CONTINUES FOR DISNEY

- MARCUS TOWNEND

CAPTAIN Guy Disney, who lost his right leg below the knee while serving in Afghanista­n in 2009, yesterday landed the Royal Artillery Gold Cup for the second year running on David Pipetraine­d Rathlin Rose. Disney, who 12 months ago became the first jockey to ride a winner under rules in Britain with a prosthetic leg, returns to Sandown next month to try to retain the Grand Military Gold Cup on the same horse. He said: ‘I should call it a day having won three on him. It’s massive. But there’s no point celebratin­g a win that was a year ago. Winning is a drug.’
