Crosspeace, twice a winner at Glorious Goodwood last season, has been retired to stud.

Foxhaven will complete his preparations for the totesport Ebor with a final gallop tomorrow.

It was a Blue Monday for punters but a black Saturday for bookmakers, who estimate losses of “almost £10m industry-wide” after jockey Steve Drowne and trainer Roger Charlton helped land a massive gamble in the totesport Cambridgeshire Handicap.

The red, blue and white colours of Favourites Racing were in the winner’s enclosure for the fourth time from their last six runners as Crosspeace took the honours in the opening contest on UltimatePoker.com 1000 Guineas Day at Newmarket today.
