# Ayr Sprint Handicap Result: South Parade Strikes at 9/2

**South Parade** won the 6:00 Sunday Roast At Western House Hotel Handicap at Ayr at **9/2**, staying on strongly under Ethan Tindall for Richard and Peter Fahey to beat Startling by a length and a half.

| Pos | Horse | Jockey | SP |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1st | South Parade | Ethan Tindall | 9/2 |
| 2nd | Startling | Jason Hart | 16/1 |
| 3rd | Harry Mole | Dougie Costello | 11/2 |

Twelve sprinters went to post for the five-furlong Class 6 dash after the late withdrawal of in-form King Of The Jungle, on ground officially good, good to soft in places.

## The Race Story

The betting told one story and the race told another. Harry Mole, 9/4 in the morning, drifted all the way to 11/2, while money poured onto Harb, backed from 7/1 into 4/1 favouritism — and neither delivered. Harb finished unplaced, while Harry Mole ran his usual honest race to be third, a short head behind the runner-up. That left the prize to South Parade, a 10/1 shot in the morning lists, who travelled sweetly for Tindall and put the race to bed inside the final furlong. Startling, a 16/1 chance after opening 8/1, banged the frame yet again in second — the serial place-getter is now an eight-race maiden this season.

## Tipster Accountability

A miss for the desk: our [Ayr preview](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/08/ayr-races-today-tips/) made Harry Mole the verdict on the basis that his day had finally come — third place says otherwise, though the same piece did flag Startling as a value place-getter and she duly filled second at double her morning price. None of the tracked names in [today’s tipster review](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/08/tipster-review-templegate-kealy-oddschecker-day-one/) had a bet in the race.

## Looking Ahead

The 6:30 Ladies Day Handicap over a mile and a quarter is the bet of the night for many: Tiger, odds-on in the morning after his Chester win for Ian Williams, faces 12 rivals following Annandale’s withdrawal. Our result from that race follows shortly. Earlier on the card, [Roman Crystal took the opener at 7/2](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/08/ayr-527-result-roman-crystal/).
