Blackbeard plunders Middle Park prize and leads home one-two for O’Brien
Aidan O'Brien's colts won the Middle Park Stakes on Saturday at Newmarket. Blackbeard kicked clear in the closing stages to win by two lengths. O’Brien is the third trainer to have a Group One in Britain for his colt this year. Ralph Beckett's filly Lezoo won earlier in Cheveley Park. The Foxes beat Dubai Mile and Flying Honours beat Royal Lodge at Royal Lodges. Adelaide River didn't beat the favourite at Beresford Stake at the Curragh. The 4-7 favourite Adelaide river couldn't stop Michael O's Callaghan's Crypto Force.
