KEMPTON, England -- Long Run regained his crown in the King George VI Chase after beating Captain Chris by a neck at Kempton Park on Wednesday.

Two years after his last victory, amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen rode 15-8 favorite Long Run to the win after holding off Captain Chris' late challenge.

Long Run is owned by Waley-Cohen's father, Robert.
