Navigator wins Sussex stakes

Henrythenavigator repelled the late thrust of Raven’s Pass to give Aidan O’Brien his 16th Group One success of the season in the BGC Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

The 4-11 favourite settled nicely for Johnny Murtagh as Ballydoyle pacemaker Windsor Palace took the field along in the early stages.

Henrythenavigator quickened impressively over a furlong out to take a couple of lengths out of his rivals and although Raven’s Pass began to reel him in late on, the market leader was a head to the good at the line.
