Harbour Watch’s Pyledriver Causes an Upset In the King Edward VII

There was a shock in store in the G2 King Edward VII S., as the 18-1 shot Pyledriver (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) provided Willie Muir and Martin Dwyer with a red-letter day. Settled with one behind early as the pace proved honest, the June 3 G3 Sandown Classic Trial runner-up loomed on the front end travelling strongly approaching two out and saw off Arthur’s Kingdom (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) by two lengths, with the same margin back to Mohican Heights (Ire) (Australia {GB}) in third.
