Did it again ... Sole Power, seen here winning the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, has made history Source: Supplied
ENGLISH sprinter Sole Power has continued a remarkable association with Royal Ascot, becoming the first horse in 80 years to win successive Group 1 King's Stand Stakes.
Contesting the feature sprint for the fourth time, Sole Power came from last to blow away 16 rivals to emulate Gold Bridge, who claimed consecutive King's Stand victories in 1933-34.
The seven-year-old automatically receives an invitation to contest the VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) at Flemington on November 8, a leg of the Global Sprint Challenge.
South African Shea Shea, the only international contender in a race previously won by Australians Choisir, Takeover Target, Miss Andretti and Scenic Blast, finished 11th.
Medicean Man, trained by England-based South Australian Jeremy Gask, finished a close fourth and is likely to back up in Saturday's Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes (1200m).
Tornado outclassed quality opposition to win the Queen Anne Stakes (1600m), leaving 2013 Cox Plate contender Mull Of Killough (eighth) and MacKinnon Stakes winner Side Glance (ninth) in his wake.
Frankie Dettori, 43, notched his 48th Royal Ascot success when The Wow Signal kept favourite backers in command with victory in the Coventry Stakes (1000m).
A son of Victoria-based Starspangledbanner and a grandson of Choisir — both Australian winners at Royal Ascot — The Wow Signal was Dettori's first winner at the meeting since 2012.
Still hindered by a broken toe, Dettori has struggled to regain momentum after being suspended for six months in 2002 after testing positive to a banned substance, said to be cocaine.
The first two winners were owned by the Qatari Sheikh Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani.
