Hats off to the Queen at Royal Ascot

If all goes well, he may stay in England for a few more weeks to run in the Darley July Cup on July 9 as well. He looks a useful prospect, though.

Don’t get me wrong, she has unquestionable talent.

Runner-up to Solow in this contest 12 months ago, she went on to land two Group One contests at Deauville and then at Newmarket, before a hard season caught up with her in America and Hong Kong.

The seven-year-old has already won in excess of £500,000.

Tepin won the Breeders’ Cup Mile past year, and Casse said he is planning to take her back there in November. “A lot of people in the United States will be delighted with this result”.

Moore added: “I was really anxious about the ground today but fortunately he has won despite everything”.

“I’m not sure where next, but obviously the natural progression would be the Heinz (Phoenix Stakes) at the Curragh”. She is the reigning female U.S. champion turf horse after her victory in the Breeders’ Cup Mile and confirmed she was a match with any miler on the planet.

“I can smile through it – it’s good English weather and we have got good umbrellas”, she said.

Tepin fought off Belardo to win the Queen Anne Stakes, clocking 1m 43.98s in winning the Queen Anne Stakes.

Devonshire will relish the testing ground and she can find the necessary improvement to triumph in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes.

Everyone seems to be coming to the conclusion that A Shin Hikari is a certainty in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, and he may well be. If it had been on the left I would have thought I was having a heart attack’.

Most of this week is likely to see rain at the course.

And we know how good the Japanese horse is. I am much happier with him. “I wouldn’t mind trying him over six”.

“It hasn’t happened for many years but the going can only get softer and we imagine that there would be nothing worse than the Queen’s carriage getting stuck in the quagmire”, William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said. Things haven’t really fallen for her in her last two starts, though there is no disgrace in finishing second to the horses of the calibre of Fascinating Rock and Postponed. Profitable has been prominent in most of his races but had not broken through at the top level until Tuesday.

While it was a 40th Royal Ascot victor for Gosden, it was a first for Havlin, who said: “I started riding at 17 and I’m 42 now, so I’ve been trying for a while”.

“At this stage of his career, he’s very good”.

While favored at 7-5 in US pools, the soft ground gave overseas bettors enough pause that Tepin was sent off at 5-1 in the United Kingdom with Belardo going off as the 9-2 co-favorite there. In fact, I would be pretty downbeat, to be honest.

“He was a little bit unlucky, but take nothing away from the victor, as when you get a horse rolling then stopped it is hard to pick up again”.

Aintree Grand National winning trainer Mouse Morris also has a trio of entries with First Lieutenant, Horendus Hullabaloo and Ravished, while the Henry De Bromhead trained, Shanahan’s Turn, victor of the Galway Plate last season, is set to top the weights.

“It’s just wonderful. It’s a great feeling”, Leparoux said after winning his Royal Ascot debut.

She is now set to take the plunge at Royal Ascot, but brilliant stablemate Minding has been scratched from the race.

A victor over four and a half furlongs at Keeneland in April, Lady Aureila certainly has speed to burn as long as her pace is not too blunted by the ground.

She is bound to have come on bundles for that outing and is well-suited by cut in the ground.
