Aidan O'Brien's So You Think recorded his 10th top-class victory in the 150th Anniversary of Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The former Australian superstar suffered a shock odds-on reverse in this 10-furlong prize 12 months ago, but he got the job done in fine style on this occasion. Always travelling strongly in the hands of the trainer's son, Joseph, the six-year-old (4-5 favourite) looked likely to run out an easy winner when cruising to the front halfway up the home straight.
The Queen's Carlton House emerged on the far rail to launch a serious challenge, but So You Think saw him off, asserting close home to score by two and a quarter lengths. Carlton House just held on to the runner-up spot from Farhh, who finished as well as anything having encountered traffic problems in the straight.

Joviality has Gosden smiling.

Joviality held off the late lunge of Chachamaidee to get John Gosden off the mark for Royal Ascot 2012 in the Windsor Forest Stakes.
Sir Henry Cecil's runner-up could go down as an unlucky loser after missing the break completely and ultimately being beaten just a neck.

Kitty rockets to Queen Mary glory.

Ceiling Kitty claimed a fiercely-run Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot for Tom Dascombe.
Although beaten on her first couple of starts, the youngster came good with victories in a Kempton maiden and a Listed race at York.
Dascombe had a much better fancied filly in the Group Two contest in the shape of Upward Spiral, but that one could only finish fourth as Ceiling Kitty claimed top honours at 20-1.

O'Brien strikes with Ishvana.

Aidan O'Brien got off the mark for Royal Ascot 2012 as apparent second-string Ishvana claimed the Jersey Stakes.
The master of Ballydoyle also saddled leading fancy Reply, ridden by his son Joseph, but he failed to make an impact in the Group Three contest. Although Ishvana had filled the runner-up spot in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on her latest appearance, she was allowed to go off at 20-1.
