ANMAAT springs 40/1 shock in dramatic QIPCO Champion Stakes

Anmaat stunned the field to sweep to a surprise victory in the 2024 QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot. A 40-1 chance for Owen Burrows and Jim Crowley, the bay was overlooked in the build-up to the contest as it was presumed to be a clash between Economics and Calandagan. The latter horse was making progress on the inside up the straight, but picking his way through the field behind him was Anmaat. Crowley was forced to wait for a gap to launch his challenge, but when the space came, Anmaat showed a fine turn of pace to seize the opportunity. He then swept past 6-4 favourite Calandagan in the dying strides to win by half a length, with 25-1 shot Royal Rhyme back in third. #horseracing #championsday #ascot #equinesports Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ Greatest Hits!
