Gold-en Vision for Frankie.

Colour Vision and Frankie Dettori survived a stewards' inquiry as they held off fellow Godolphin runner Opinion Poll to take top honours in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
The Italian rider had to choose between the pair earlier this week and many saw it as a surprise when he sided with Saeed bin Suroor's Colour Vision over the more established Opinion Poll.

Princess Highway emulated her dam Irresistible Jewel as she powered to victory in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Dermot Weld saddled the latter to win the Group Two event 10 years ago in the hands of Pat Smullen for Moyglare Stud, and the same team struck gold once again with Princess Highway.
Investec Oaks second Shirocco Star set out to make all under Darryll Holland, getting a few on the stretch turning in after a canny ride, but Princess Highway (17-2) swept into the lead with two furlongs to run and did not stop, passing the post with six lengths to spare over 5-2 favourite The Fugue.

Reckless powers to Norfolk glory.

Reckless Abandon overcame clear signs of inexperience to record his second victory from as many starts in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Clive Cox's Doncaster winner was smartly away in the five-furlong Group Two and quickened up to take the lead heading towards the furlong marker. It looked as though the 4-1 shot would throw away his chance as he hung violently left in the hands of Adam Kirby, coming right across to the stands side rail.

Energizer powers up in Tercentenary.

Energizer became the first German-trained winner at Royal Ascot when registering a comfortable victory in the Tercentenary Stakes.
Jens Hirschberger's hooded three-year-old was given a confident ride by Adrie de Vries and was produced with a withering run down the outside of the field in the home straight.
The 15-2 chance picked up Stipulate heading towards the final furlong and kicked clear to score by two and a half lengths. Rewarded and Kirsty Milczarek grabbed third place.
