It’s Kodiac Again As Hello Youmzain Prevails In the Diamond Jubilee
The G1 Diamond Jubilee S. was another thriller on Saturday, with Haras d’Etreham and Cambridge Stud’s Hello Youmzain (Fr) (Kodiac {GB}) just holding on from last year’s runner-up Dream of Dreams (Ire) (Dream Ahead) in a pulsating finale. Breaking rapidly before gradually making his way to the stand’s side, last year’s G1 Haydock Sprint Cup hero looked to have been beaten by Sceptical (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) inside the final furlong but he battled gamely to regain the initiative in the last 100 yards. Driven out to the line by first-time Royal Ascot winner Kevin Stott, the 4-year-old had a head to spare as Dream of Dreams pulled off a replica of his 2019 effort, with a neck back to the 2-1 favourite Sceptical.

Kingman’s Palace Pier Best In the St James’s Palace
Frankie is on fire again at his favourite venue and he took the final day of Royal Ascot by storm as he steered TDN Rising Star Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) to success in the G1 St James’s Palace S. Settled just behind the frantic pace early, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum’s unbeaten 4-1 shot came wide off the turn and in the last half furlong saw off Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) and Wichita (Ire) (No Nay Never) by a length and a head.
