Rakti eases to Newbury victory

Rakti put up a hugely impressive performance to stroll away with the Group One Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes at Newbury today.

Philip Robinson had the 7-4 favourite in front not long after the start and none of his rivals ever looked like catching him as he pulled well clear in the final furlong.

Mac Love, a 50-1 outsider, ran on well for second with Hurricane Alan third, but they were not in the same league as Rakti, who set a new course record.
