US EditionLazzat Denies Japan a First Royal Ascot Winner in Thrilling Climax
- Lazzat, a four-year-old sprinter under the guidance of Jerome Reynier, secured victory in the top-level Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee event held at Royal Ascot on Saturday.
- The race was closely contested with Satono Reve, the 2-1 Japanese favorite ridden by Joao Moreira, expected to claim a first Japanese Royal Ascot win before Lazzat narrowly prevailed.
- Lazzat covered every yard with impressive speed to the finish but unseated jockey James Doyle shortly after crossing the line. The horse then ran loose and delivered a powerful kick that narrowly missed a groundsworker, nearly causing significant injury.
- James Doyle said Lazzat refused to let the Japanese horse pass him, putting his ears back and trying harder, while Reynier confirmed Lazzat is a pure sprinter for future short-distance races.
- Lazzat's victory broke Charlie Appleby's three-year Royal Ascot losing streak, marked Reynier's first Royal Ascot winner, and contributed to a strong week for Wathnan Racing, owned by the Emir of Qatar.
