When stuns Hawk Wing in QEII
Where Or When inflicted a shock defeat on Hawk Wing in the NetJets-sponsored Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot today.
Aidan O’Brien’s star was sent off at 1-2 and looked to have the Group One prize at his mercy when taking over from his pacemaker a furlong out.
But Kevin Darley produced the Terry Mills-trained 7-1 chance on the outside and, producing an impressive burst of speed, settled the issue in matter of strides to score by two lengths from the favourite with Tillerman three lengths back in third in the five-runner field.
