Rewilding digs deep to deny So You Think

GODOLPHIN broke back into the Royal Ascot spotlight as Rewilding hunted down the Australian giant So You Think in a captivating Prince of Wales’s Stakes yesterday.

With two easy victories in Ireland since his transfer to Aidan O’Brien, this was billed as the day of reckoning for So You Think and at the home bend he was poised to justify his position as the 4-11 favourite.

But in a scenario reminiscent of races a decade ago when Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin and the O’Brien-Coolmore team regularly staged head-to-head clashes through the likes of Fantastic Light and Galileo, there was to be a stunning conclusion.
