Racing up with the pace, Johnny Murtagh committed his charge three furlongs out and quickly established a four length lead over the field. Patkai (9/2) gave chase but was three and a half lengths down at the post. Yeats, at the age of eight, becomes the first horse ever to win four Ascot Gold Cups. Betfred stood out by offering 5/2 about the winner first thing this morning; if you bet the winner I hope you took the 9/4 which was generally available in the early afternoon. Paddy Power reckon this result has cost them £1.5 million.<br />15/8f Leocorno lost her unbeaten run, finishing fourth behind Godolphin's Flying Cloud. Did Frankie just nick this one? Shaken up two furlongs out, Flying Cloud quickly went clear; the form book notes Leocorno could 'not reach leaders'.<br />Monsieur Chevalier (6/4f) also lost the unbeaten tag but looked rather unlucky, being badly hampered a furlong out as he mounted a challenge; he finished fifth. 10/1 shot Radiohead collected the spoils.GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
