Triple Time’s Surprise Victory at Queen Anne Stakes Stuns Ascot Racecourse

Ascot Racecourse Stunned as Triple Time Pulls Off Shock Queen Anne Stakes Victory

The Kevin Ryan-trained Triple Time defied his 33-1 odds to secure a remarkable triumph in the prestigious Queen Anne Stakes on the opening day of Royal Ascot. The four-year-old Frankel colt managed to edge out the highly fancied Inspiral, owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum, in a thrilling neck-and-neck finish.

Prior to the race, Ryan had informed jockey Neil Callan that Triple Time was the best horse he had ever trained, and the horse lived up to the billing with an impressive display on his belated seasonal debut. The victory has left the connections brimming with confidence, as they now set their sights on the lucrative £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on August 2.

The Sussex Stakes is shaping up to be a highly anticipated clash, with the potential of a showdown between Triple Time and the impressive St James’s Palace Stakes winner, Paddington. Ascot Racecourse enthusiasts will be eager to see if Triple Time can replicate his shock success and establish himself as a true force to be reckoned with in the sport.

The reigning champion Inspiral, who was widely tipped to defend her crown, ultimately had to settle for second place on the day, but the narrow margin of defeat suggests that the battle for supremacy in this division is far from over.

As the racing community continues to reel from the unexpected outcome, the Kevin Ryan team is confident that Triple Time’s Queen Anne triumph was no fluke, and they are determined to cement the colt’s status as a leading contender in the upcoming Sussex Stakes showdown.
