No disguising task ahead, as Bay Bridge takes on ‘world champion’ at Ascot

Bay Bridge is the third favourite in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot. He was beaten by State Of Rest in Coral Eclipse and Vadeni in Prince of Wales’s Stake at Royal Ascott. The colt won the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown in May after a seven-month lay-off. His co-owner James Wigan is also part-owners of Saffron Beach, who is in a race against time to be fit for the Breeders” Cup.
