Ghaiyyath seals Group One hat-trick with dominant International display
Appleby runner makes all for York verdict.
Ghaiyyath took his brilliant winning run to three Group Ones this season by repelling all challengers in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York. Charlie Appleby’s front-runner led throughout once again as he saw off a top-class five-strong field to win by three lengths as the 11-8 favourite, under William Buick.

But none ever closed within two lengths as Appleby’s five-year-old added this success to his Coronation Cup and Coral-Eclipse victories in the past two months.Magical took second spot, with Lord North eventually staying on past Kameko into third.
