Sole switches on the power.

Sole Power recorded back-to-back-victories in the Pearl Bloodstock Palace House Stakes at Newmarket with another classy display.

Ryan Moore brought Eddie Lynam's dual Group One winner to lead inside the final furlong after Justineo and Stepper Point had made the running in this Group Three five-furlong dash.

Despite having to be switched right for a clear run at a vital stage, the 9-4 favourite found a terrific turn of foot and got home by half a length from Kingsgate Native, who was also second 12 months ago. Hot Streak was another head away in third.
Chrome shines in Kentucky.

Trainer Art Sherman secured his place in the record books as he sent out California Chrome to land the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday night.

Sherman became the oldest winning trainer in the history of the race at the age of 77, surpassing 76-year-old Charlie Whittingham, who saddled Sunday Silence to win back in 1989.

California Chrome was sent off favourite for the 10-furlong Classic after notching up four wins on the bounce, including the Santa Anita Derby on his latest outing, and partnered by Victor Espinoza, he settled off a steady early pace before swooping through to lead with two furlongs to run.
