The Queen may have missed the festivities on a sweltering Royal Ascot week, but she would doubtless be filled with pride at the way her horses ran on Gold Cup day.

Claymore Spoils Royal Ascot Party By Beating The Queen's Reach For The Moon

It wasn't a popular result amongst punters as Her Majesty the Queen's 2/5 favourite Reach For The Moon was beaten to the line by 7/1 shot Claymore in the Hampton Court Stakes. Claymore was perhaps underestimated given his poor run in the French 2000 Guineas when he was drawn wide and rushed up early. He silenced the critics that said he couldn't…

British trainers take aim at French 2,000 Guineas

The received wisdom that the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, the de facto French 2000 Guineas, is a draw race stands up to scrutiny. Across the seven runnings held at Longchamp over the last ten years, if you had picked out a horse at random you would have had about a 5-2 chance of that horse making the first four.
