Age drame as Blue conquers Cup

Course specialist Illustrious Blue (8-1) secured a popular win in the Artemis Goodwood Cup – but the race was marred when odds-on favourite Age Of Aquarius broke down in front.

Sent off the 4-6 market leader after his fine second in the Ascot Gold Cup, Johnny Murtagh had set out to make all of the running on the four-year-old when he lost his action half a mile out and was pulled up.
