Fabre surprise in Royaumont.

Quote:
Andre Fabre claimed his 11th victory in the Prix de Royaumont at Chantilly - but not with the runner many expected.

The master French trainer saddled half of the six-strong field for the Group Three event for three-year-old fillies over a mile and a half and much the shortest price of the trio was Khalid Abdullah's Delivery.

Hughes rode a typically patient race and it was clear Sole Power (5-1) was still full of running entering the closing stages. Once unleashed on the far side of the track, the response was immediate as he quickened up fantastically to run to the lead and settle matters in a few strides.

Richard Hannon admitted to a palpable sense of relief after Toronado lived up to every possible expectation in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Despite having not seen a racecourse for 300 days, much was demanded of the High Chaparral colt, whose connections could hardly have been more ebullient in the build-up to the meeting's curtain-raiser.

Be that as it may, the burden of expectation must have been oppressive for the Wiltshire handler, who was having his first Royal runner after his father, Richard Hannon snr, passed on the baton to become his son's assistant. The Hannons need not have worried. Toronado was outstanding.

Sent off a well-supported 5-1 joint-favourite, The Wow Signal got off to a fast start and raced close to the pace from the start. Dettori coaxed his mount into the lead heading inside the final two furlongs and his rivals were unable to keep tabs on the northern raider as he galloped all the way to the line to take the Group Two prize by a length and three-quarters

He ran out of petrol coming into the straight and it was patently obvious The Fugue, who was injured when beaten in the Dubai Duty Free in March, was travelling the best.

Night Of Thunder steps up to a mile and a quarter for the first time in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown Park.

The 2000 Guineas hero engaged in a fascinating rematch with Newmarket runner-up Kingman at Royal Ascot, but he was clear second-best in the St James's Palace Stakes.

Connections are confident the extra distance is within his compass, with his trainer Richard Hannon telling Racing UK: "He's the sort of horse you don't really notice, and I think that's what will stand him in good stead for Saturday - the fact that he is so relaxed and he's very economical when he races. He gives himself every chance of staying a mile and a quarter."

John Gosden dominated the bet365 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock Park as Pomology beat stablemate Sultanina.

Both fillies were unbeaten going into the Group Two race, but all Pomology's three wins came last season, while Sultanina had not run at two and three yet won both her races this year.

The result looked signed and sealed some way out, as Pomology (8-1) was cantering all over the opposition two furlongs from home and eased into the lead before being pushed out by Graham Lee to beat Sultanina by two and a quarter lengths.

The son of Sea The Stars quickened from the front as they began the turn into the straight and then hared across the track to the near-side rail on his own, but such was his dominance that Soumillon could enjoy a casual look over his shoulder to see the opposition blown away.

Royal Ascot heroine Integral clinched a first Group One victory with an impressive display in the Qipco Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket under Ryan Moore.

The Cheveley Park-owned and -bred filly claimed the Duke of Cambridge Stakes in Berkshire last month and despite encountering more testing conditions on the July Course, she was the 15-8 favourite follow up. Last year's 1000 Guineas heroine Sky Lantern, behind Integral at the Royal meeting but expected to improve, was sent into the lead early on by Richard Hughes and set only a moderate gallop for the first half of the mile contest.

Clive Brittain's Rizeena, another Ascot winner having claimed the Coronation Stakes, and Integral were never too far off the pace and moved up to dispute the lead as Sky Lantern disappointingly weakened out of shot. It was soon evident Integral had far more to give than her younger opponent, however, and after switching to the stands' rail in the final furlong, she had plenty in the tank to hold her at bay by two lengths.
