Team USA strike at Royal Ascot! Crimson Advocate & Johnny Velazquez win the Queen Mary!

Күн бұрынCrimson Advocate and John Velazquez claimed the narrowest of victories in a thrilling climax to the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot.
A field of 26 juvenile fillies went to post for the five-furlong opener on day two and the George Weaver-trained Crimson Advocate made a rapid start in the hands of his Hall of Fame pilot.
The 9-1 shot, a winner at Gulfstream Park in Florida last month, led her rivals a merry dance for much of the way and it was just a question of whether she would hold on racing inside the final furlong.
Relief Rally, unbeaten in two previous starts for William Haggas, came at the leader hard as the post loomed and was in front just before and just after the line - but the judge confirmed Crimson Advocate was a nose in front where it mattered. Beautiful Diamond, the 11-4 favourite, finished third.
Kentucky-born Weaver had saddled just one previous runner at the Royal meeting, with the Velazquez-ridden Cyclogenisis finishing down the field in the 2015 Commonwealth Cup.

Has Martin Lewis commented ( hes blocked me ) the Aussie and Us horses were useless this year and would have no winners according to him. Oh the joy of seeing Frankie ride them to sleep on Gregory . Lewis wont like that or his bet on Luxembourg,

Someone needs to tell this announcer how to pronounce John Velasquez's last name. The Q is pronounced as a K.

Hardly a matter of importance is it? I’m sure the American dog track commentators will pronounce it properly for you if it bothers you

@@lagosfury5142 And the US isn't big into turf racing anyway, so nobody cares who wins those BC races. We wait for the dirt races, and no foreigners even challenge us anymore in the BC Classic because they know they've got no chance. Tiznow whipped Giant's Causeway in 2000 and Galileo in 2001, so they stopped coming!!!

These dummy Brits don't realize that turf racing ISN'T big in the US -- that our money goes into our dirt horses instead, so when they beat us, they're usually not beating much! The Brits have crap dirt horses.
