Authorised posts Trophy shock
Authorized has caused a major upset with a 25-1 victory in the Racing Post Trophy at Newbury.
Third on his only other previous run, the Peter Chapple-Hyam trained colt powered home in the final furlong of the Group One contest.
In a finish dominated by outsiders, the Montjeu colt won by a length and a quarter from 33-1 shot Charlie Farnsbarns, with Medicine Path (20-1) two lengths further away in third.
Prince Golan took the field along in the early stages, with Malacara and Drumfire close up down the straight mile.
The race was wide open three furlongs out and a host of horses were still in with chances.
Petara Bay and Charlie Farnsbarns made their bids, but it was Authorized on the near side who came fast and late to claim the last big race of the year in Britain and stake his claim for the Vodafone Derby.
The winner was slashed from 12-1 to 33-1 for the premier Classic at Epsom with VC Bet.
