Estrange gained her first Group 1 victory when winning the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday. A Group 2 winner last term, the five year old had won the Group 3 Lester Piggott Fiilies' Stakes at Carlisle on her reappearance last month. Dropping back to ten furlongs here, she travelled well on the outside under Danny Tudhope. Leading over a furlong out, she ran on strongly to beat One L...
Congratulations to Value Racing Club following Al Shabab Storm's victory in the Gosforth Park Cup at Newcastle on Friday evening. Purchased for 45,000gns in October, the Advertise gelding was a Group 3 and Listed winner a couple of years ago for Andrew Balding before joining Marco Botti. Having failed to win during 2025, he joined Mick Appleby last Autumn. Despite finishing unplaced in two runs at...
The once raced Minzelle was highlighted in the Royal Ascot Update as a juvenile to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. The daughter of Minzaal had shown a lot of speed over six furlongs on her debut at Haydock last month before tiring late on in third. Dropped back to the minimum trip at Catterick on Monday, Karl Burke's filly was strongly supported (15/8 into 8/13 at one stage) and justified that...

It had been a tough few days for Karl Burke during the first half of Royal Ascot but his top-class filly Venetian Sun came to the rescue in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup. A non stayer over a mile in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, the daughter of Starman had impressed when dropping back to sprint trips in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock last time. Encountering quick ground and returning to ...
Aidan O'Brien trained his 100th winner at Royal Ascot when Scandinavia won the Gold Cup in a thrilling finish with last year's victor Trawlerman. The four year old was providing his trainer with his tenth win in the week's showpiece event. The young pretender had to dig deep to get the better of the eight year old runner-up who was making his belated seasonal reappearance, who was reportedly in in...
Ombudsman gained his fourth Group 1 success and won the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot for a second consecutive year. The son of Night of Thunder sat off a frentic early gallop before taking charge approaching the final furlong. William Buick's mount readily swept past top-class performers Daryz and Minnie Hauk before pulling away to win by four lengths. Blessed with a lethal turn of foot...
Bow Echo followed up his 2000 Guineas victory at Newmarket in the Group 1 St James's Palace Stakes on day one of Royal Ascot. A short head victor, George Boughey's stable star wasn't at his best but still managed to prevail. The Night of Thunder colt got lit up early on and then made his move on the outside soon enough. Billy Loughnane is undoubtedly a very talented young jockey with a bright futu...
