Azleet Springs 50-1 Surprise in Newmarket's Nell Gwyn Stakes

In a remarkable upset, Azleet emerged victorious in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes, defying her 50-1 odds to claim the top spot. Trained by Stuart Williams, the three-year-old filly demonstrated her impressive abilities, overcoming a slow start to make a decisive move in the final stretch. With this win, Azleet has earned herself a chance to compete in the prestigious Betfred 1000 Guineas. Williams expressed his excitement, stating, 'We'll take a chance in the 1000 Guineas, and it will be a special experience for me to have a Group One runner at Newmarket.' The filly's jockey, Marco Ghiani, provided a brilliant ride, settling Azleet at the rear before making a strong push in the final furlong. Azleet's victory has sparked enthusiasm, with many believing she has the potential to excel in the Guineas. Meanwhile, the Richard Hughes-trained America Queen, who finished second, will head to France to pursue Classic glory. Other notable performances included Damysus' dominant win in the Betway Earl of Sefton Stakes and Morshdi's impressive victory in the Betway Feilden Stakes, announcing himself as a Derby contender.
