Rajasinghe claims Royal Ascot victory in Coventry Stakes

Rajasinghe won the Coventry Stakes by a head. The colt was trained by Richard Spencer and made his debut at Newcastle last month. Headway finished second.

Rajasinghe won the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot by a head from Headway. Murillo was third and Jessica Harrington's 4-1 favourite Brother Bear was fourth. The colt was trained by Stevie Donohoe. Phil Cunningham bought him off Bobby O'Ryan 10 years ago. He is named after Raj, a friend of his. The horse won 2000 Guineas. It was Cunningham's dream to win at Ascott. His horse Cockney Rebel won in 2000. They both won at the Guines.
