Re: Horse Racing

Five-star Moore lifts title.

Ryan Moore was crowned leading jockey at Royal Ascot 2012 with five winners.

William Buick had topped the charts following Camborne's victory in the penultimate Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes, but Moore had the final word 35 minutes later.

The former champion jockey was reunited with Tuesday's Ascot Stakes winner Simenon, who added to his gains in the concluding Queen Alexandra Stakes. Buick also secured five winners, but had one third place to Moore's two
Fine and Dandy in Wokingham.

Irish eyes were smiling in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot when Dandy Boy scooted clear for trainer David Marnane.

The Pat Dobbs-ridden six-year-old powered away from the far-side group to cause a 33-1 upset.

Waffle fared best of the stands-side battalion to finish second, a length and a quarter away from the winner, with Hawkeyethenoo and Morache Music third and fourth respectively.
Camborne another for Buick.

Camborne produced an outstanding burst of speed to win the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot.

Trained by John Gosden and ridden by William Buick, who teamed up for a Royal treble on Friday, the four-year-old came from last to first within a heartbeat. Buick switched his partner wide inside the final furlong and a half and he simply flew.

Two and a half lengths separated Camborne (11-2 favourite) and Hammerfest at the line, with Harrison's Cave and Alkimos third and fourth respectively.
