Redknapp's The Jukebox Man wins King George

Harry Redknapp's The Jukebox Man rallied at the last to clinch a thrilling victory in the King George VI Chase.

The Group One race at Kempton Park went down to a photo-finish with last year's winner Banbridge and 9-4 joint-favourite Gaelic Warrior.

Owner Redknapp faced an anxious wait before the ex-Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham manager could celebrate the win.

The trio went into the final jump together, with The Jukebox Man coming down in third, but Ben Jones led the 7-1 shot, trained by Ben Pauling, back between his two rivals.

Although Banbridge (16-1) edged fractionally in front, Redknapp's charge dug deep to win by a nose, with Gaelic Warrior a similar margin back in third.

The victory was worth £142,375 to Redknapp, who was trembling as he spoke to ITV Racing moments after his winner was confirmed.

"It is a dream, to have a horse that good," he said. "I love the game that much.

"I am so lucky, it is special isn't it? It is right up there.

"I love the racing and the game, the people in it, and to have a winner on the big stage is fantastic."

Joint-favourite Jango Baie was a length back going into the final fence and was closing on the lead trio right up to the line.

"The guts the horse has shown is amazing, I thought he was going to come fourth," said Redknapp, 78.

"Everyone was jumping on me at the end and I didn't know I had won."
