Azleet Enters 1000 Guineas Contention with Shock Newmarket Win

Azleet, trained by Stuart Williams, achieved a remarkable win in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes, making her a contender for the Betfred 1000 Guineas. Despite being a 50-1 shot, Azleet demonstrated her strength, particularly in the final stretch, to finish ahead of America Queen by a neck. Williams expressed his excitement about having a Group One runner in the Guineas, stating that they will 'roll the dice' and see how Azleet performs. The filly's success has also drawn attention to her potential for future races, with Williams highlighting her ability to overcome challenges and demonstrate her high-class status. Meanwhile, other trainers, such as Richard Hughes and Charlie Appleby, are considering their own strategies for upcoming events, including the French Guineas and the Michael Seely at York.
