Royal Ascot Day 4 — Race 1 — Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap (3yo) 5f, 21 ran: Art Power earned himself a shot at a Group 1 contest after comfortably winning Day 4’s opening Palace of Holyroodhouse by three-and-a-quarter lengths from Keep Busy, the mount of Cieren Fallon. Despite being a 21-runner handicap for three-year-olds, the contest turned into a procession as the red-hot 6/4 favourite came home a hugely impressive winner. The Group 1 Nunthorpe Stales at York on August 24 is the target for the horse that was providing trainer Tim Easterby a sixth Royal Ascot win and a seventh for jockey Silvestre de Sousa.

Royal Ascot 2020 — Race 2 — Albany Stakes (2yo) 6f, 14 ran: Trainer Karl Burke has an eye on next season’s 1000 Guineas following Dandalla’s impressive six-length victory over her rivals in the Group 3 Albany Stakes over six furlongs. With Ben Curtis letting his filly do her thing, the pair screamed home from Setarhe, the 11/4 favourite ridden by Andrea Atzeni, with Ryan Moore’s Irish raider Mother Earth a neck back in third. Dandalla was introduced as a 16/1 chance for the 2021 1000 Guineas with bookmakers. It was a first Royal Ascot win for Ben Curtis who said: “It is on every jockey’s to-do list. I have been coming down to Royal Ascot for a good while now and not really getting involved, so finally to get a winner is unbelievable.” Image Credit: Reuters

Royal Ascot Day 4 Santiago — Race 6 — The Queen’s Vase, 1m 6f, 8 ran: It’s been a rather quiet week by their normally high standards for trainer Aidan O’Brien and jockey Ryan Moore, but they came good when it mattered to win the Queen’s Vase over a mile and six furlongs with Santiago, who has now stormed into next month’s Epsom Derby picture. Trainer Andrew Balding’s Berkshire Rocco, who ran a big race when second to English King in the Lingfield Derby Trial earlier this year, finished best of the rest under Oisin Murphy, two-and-a-quarter lengths behind with Godolphin’s Al Dabaran a long way back in third. The Queen’s Vase is one of three perpetual trophies at the meeting, along with the Royal Hunt Cup and the Gold Cup, which can be kept permanently by the winning owners. Image Credit: Reuters

Royal Ascot Day 4 2020 — Race 7 — Duke of Edinburgh Stakes, 1m 4f, 14 ran: Hollie Doyle continued her fine season with a career-first Royal Ascot winner aboard 33/1 outsider Scarlet Dragon, who won the concluding Duke of Edinburgh Stakes on Day 4 at the meeting. Deja finished runner-up, with the 4/1 favourite West End Charmer third. Alan King’s galloper was without a win on the flat since 2016 and below form in a couple of all-weather starts this winter, but showed he is not short of ability under a good ride by Doyle.
