Australia 1-3-4. Class performance by Miss A, she's an amazing sprinter and has to win Australian Horse of the Year now. Dandy Man closed nicely ahead of Magnus who was game, Takeover Target just behind the first three.

Time 57.44, new track record.

Is she going to give the Golden Jubilee a go on Saturday?

Think I'll go with Racinger in this one.

Ramonti
Jeremy
Turtle Bowl

Interesting run by George Washington, looked totally beaten 2f out but gained a second wind and absolutely flew the last furlong, a very close 4th in a bunched finish, less than half a length covering the first four. Brilliant performance by Ramonti. He set the pace, was headed, but fought back and regained the lead. Excellent ride by Dettori...again.

I would assume so.

Running in and out like a crazy lady (shut up, AJ! ) and I'm missing - will miss - everything.

Can someone please post a visual and let me know how these two looked? Princelet (sweet one-eyed boy in the Ascot S.) and Befortyfour (my Jarvis longshot) in the Windsor Castle.....

Thank you.

Very good, he was in front a couple of strides after the post. Has to be hard to beat in his next race.

Haven't heard the official margin but it looked like about 2 lengths at the line. She really accelerated about a furlong out and kicked about 3 clear, but was almost eased at the line and the margin shrank.

She was still comfortably clear of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th who were all together in a line, then a bigger margin back to Enticing in 5th.

Excellent Art
Duke Of Marmalade
Astronomer Royal

Not Cockney Rebel's day today! He was throwing his head all over the place during the first half of the race, looked likely to win a couple of furlongs out but ran out badly in the last furlong, just missed in a 3-way photo for third.

Take nothing away from the first 3 though, Excellent Art was beautifully ridden to come from last to take it out, and Duke Of Marmalade almost stole the race with a very slow pace.

Time 1:39.33 - shows how slow the pace was.
