Banner stars for Ballydoyle in Jubille Stakes

Aidan O’Brien’s Australian recruit Starspangledbanner led his rivals a merry dance in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The Choisir colt was sent off the 13-2 joint-favourite for the six-furlong heat having finished fifth in the Duke Of York Stakes on his Ballydoyle debut and was soon leading the stands’ side group in the hands of Johnny Murtagh.
