Royal Ascot winner for Waterford’s Henry de Bromhead
Waterford trainer Henry de Bromhead has tasted success at Royal Ascot this evening.
The Ascot Stakes has gone the way of the Knockeen trainer as 20/1 shot Ascending ridden by Billy Lee saw off the Joseph O’Brien-trained Nurburgring in the home straight to land the £110,000 top prize.
It’s a first ever Royal Ascot winner for de Bromhead.
“If they’ve got the ability, it makes it a lot easier”, he told ITV Racing. “We’ve got our hands on some great horses, we’ve got a really great team – and I’m just delighted for everyone.”
