Grace and favour for bookies

Queen’s Grace gave Hughie Morrison the perfect omen for his big-race runner Palace Moon when creating a 50-1 shock in the first division of the Bathwick Tyres EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes at Newbury.

In the same silks of veteran owner Bridget Swire, Steve Drowne drove Queen’s Grace to a neck and two-and-a-quarter-length triumph over Jacqueline Quest and Pin Cushion.
