Charles Darwin has strengthened his already raised reputation with a dominant victory in mind in the Norfolk Stakes of Royal Ascot.
A full -fledged brother to a two -year -old child in Blackbeard, the imposing son formed by Aidan O’Brien de No Nay never finished fourth during his beginnings in Curragh, but had since impressed by the victories in Navan and Naas.
Those who sent him in disagreement of 8/13 will have had little concerns, with Charles Darwin soon bowling in front of Ryan Moore, finding a lot of time in challenge and disappearing in the line to easily account for a wise approach and Sandal’s song.
“He is adorable, Ryan has always loved him and everyone has always loved him at home,” said O’Brien. “He is a great powerful and strong horse. He really looks like a four -year race against two years.
“I didn’t know if Ryan was going to race or put it down, but he decides this. He always thought he had charges with the way he came to the bridle.
“It is very fast, a big and great physical and all those who go up it says that it also has a very good spirit – it is very exciting.
“We hope he would get an advance because he never sees the front at home, he is very strong and very fast.”

On the peaking of Ballydoyle concerning the juveniles, O’Brien added: “Albert Einstein is always something as we have never seen before, the way he works.
“This horse is very fast – it is a sprinter, I do not know how far it will go, because it is very fast, and the horse the other day (gstaad) seems to have seven, which means that it could have a mile.”
Charlie Appleby was determined to take the positive points of the Wise Approach race in second position after rebounding the defeat in York.
Appleby said: “We estimated that we were very attracted on the wrong side, but the main thing about today was to prepare it for the future and to make a very different race towards what we saw in York. We wanted to drop it off and we do not think there was the strength there to transport ourselves through the race if we did it at hand.
“We made the decision to pass, to race and to make it finished and he did it all, then finishing secondly to a very high -end racing horse in Charles Darwin, you must take a lot of positive points.
“There will be a nice pot in this horse and I think that it is quite versatile for five or six stadiums, we can probably look for six now and make a kind of similar race. With the race, he learns.
“I don’t know where we are going, we have maximized Teed-Up for the Julymarket’s July challenges and its shape works well after Windsor Castle, but you can never have too much. There will be options and I will move them accordingly.”
There should not be a second winner of Royal Ascot for the American manager George Weaver, but the connections can remain positive on the new acquisition of Wathnan Racing which will now be intended for Breeders’ Cup.
Wathnan’s American representative Clay Clay said: “George really knows what he is doing with these two -year -old children and his Blair Assistant (Golen) has done a wonderful job since his arrival here.
“As you saw in the paddock in advance, he is a very simple horse and I am very proud of his efforts. There was a moment there, I became very excited, but it was beaten by a very good foal and it was such a valiant effort.
“We will bring him back to the United States and we will target the juvenile grass sprint of the breeders cup and work from this and try to get there.”
Tom Marquand got out of a difficult position to win the King George V issues on the merchant for William Haggas.
Drawn in Stall 20, Marquand had chosen to look behind the horses while Ryan Moore on a serious competitor, who was also widely displayed, chose to move forward.
Moore was still at the front when they entered the last Furlong, but the merchant resumed to challenge an increase of 8 lb for having won in York the last time and justify the 3/1 favoritism by a length, with a potential warrior another neck in third.
