Libertarian in Dante shocker.

Libertarian caused a huge shock when staying on best of all to win the Betfred Dante Stakes at York.

All eight runners had something of a chance two furlongs out, but the unheralded Libertarian had been off the bridle for some time.

Sent off at 33-1, William Buick moved to the inside on Elaine Burke's colt and he powered home to beat Jim Bolger's Trading Leather, with Aidan O'Brien's Indian Chief, the 11-4 favourite, back in third.

Karl Burke, the winning trainer's husband and assistant, said: "It is a great win for the yard and everyone connected with the horse. He's a proper horse and having not had many (Derby) horses, or Dante horses even, you are tilting at windmills a bit. We have always thought a lot of him.
