THOUGHT A WORTHY VOLTIGEUR WINNER.

Thought Worthy benefited from a brilliant ride by William Buick to lead from pillar to post in the Neptune Investment Management Great Voltigeur Stakes at York.
The 9-1 chance set only a modest gallop in the early stages of the mile-and-a-half contest, but he quickened the pace before the home turn and caught one or two of his rivals a little flat-footed.
His advantage was eroded as they headed inside the last couple of furlongs, with 13-8 favourite Main Sequence the biggest threat. But the John Gosden-trained Thought Worthy gave Buick everything he had as the line approached and held on to claim the Group Two prize by a neck.

Shirocco Star spearheads a strong assault from Hughie Morrison on Thursday's Darley Yorkshire Oaks.
The East Ilsley handler saddles the daughter of Shirocco, as well as Coquet, and they were second and sixth respectively behind the reopposing Was in the Epsom equivalent. Shirocco Star has since finished third behind Princess Highway in the Ribblesdale and second to Great Heavens in the Irish Oaks.
