Auguste Rodin produced a decided efficiency below Ryan Moore to win the characteristic Prince Of Wales’s Stakes on the second day at Royal Ascot.
The Aidan O’Brien-trained 13/8 favorite, who was claiming his sixth Group One success, ran on gamely in opposition to the far rail within the 1m 2f contest to repel the problem of French duo Zarakem (33/1) and Horizon Dore (7/1).
Following his earlier win on Illinois, the victory moved Moore on to the 81-winner mark at Royal Ascot – placing him stage with Frankie Dettori in second place behind Lester Piggott (116) on the all-time listing – whereas O’Brien was coaching the four-hundredth Group/Grade One winner of his profession.
Inspiral was gradual out of the stalls and was unable to strike a blow after racing on the rear for a lot of the race.
