Azleet Enters 1000 Guineas Contention with Stunning Newmarket Victory
Azleet, trained by Stuart Williams, pulled off a shocking 50-1 win in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes, a key trial for the first fillies' Classic of the year. Despite being a long shot, Azleet made a remarkable comeback, settling at the rear of the 12-strong field before making her move in the final three furlongs and edging out America Queen by a neck. Williams expressed his excitement about Azleet's chances in the 1000 Guineas, stating that they will 'roll the dice' and take a chance at the prestigious event. The win has also sparked interest in other upcoming races, including the French Guineas and the Prince of Wales's Stakes. Meanwhile, Damysus, trained by John and Thady Gosden, made a dominant comeback in the Betway Earl of Sefton Stakes, solidifying his position as a major contender for the season. Morshdi, trained by William Haggas, also announced himself as a Derby contender with a victory in the Betway Feilden Stakes, and is now being considered for the Betfred Derby.
