Re: Horse Racing
Riposte lands emotional Ribblesdale.

Quote:
Riposte provided the Royal Ascot crowd with the win they were all craving for Lady Cecil in the Ribblesdale Stakes.
Lady Cecil's husband Sir Henry Cecil died only last week but laid out all his plans for the meeting, at which he recorded a record 75 winners, beforehand.
After missing the break, Tom Queally had to make ground up quickly but Riposte did that effortlessly and quickened in the style of a very smart filly to beat Just Pretending by two and a quarter lengths.
