Azleet Stuns Newmarket with 50-1 Upset, Earns Spot in 1000 Guineas

Azleet has emerged as a contender for the Betfred 1000 Guineas after pulling off a shocking 50-1 victory in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes. The three-year-old, trained by Stuart Williams, was considered a long shot, but she made a remarkable comeback to claim the top spot. Starting at the rear of the 12-strong field, Azleet gained momentum in the final stretch, overtaking America Queen to win by a neck. Williams expressed his excitement, stating that they will take a chance with Azleet in the 1000 Guineas, which will be a special experience for him as a trainer. The win was a significant upset, as Azleet had previously struggled at Listed and Group-race levels. However, her impressive performance has earned her a spot in the prestigious 1000 Guineas, and Williams is eager to see how she will fare against tougher competition.
