Re: Horse Racing
Head turns on Charm in QEII.

Cirrus Des Aigles may have been vanquished later in the day, but Charm Spirit proudly flew the French flag with a power-packed late surge to take the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.
In doing so, Freddy Head's prolific colt became the first QEII winner from across the Channel for 21 years in what was a rather messy renewal of the great race.
Olivier Peslier managed to find a gap on the three-year-old (5-1) and had enough in hand to hold the unlucky-in-running Night Of Thunder by half a length, with the 2-1 favourite's Richard Hannon-trained stablemate Toormore just behind in third
