St James’s Palace poised to be crowning glory for clash of the Classic winners
English, Irish and French Guineas winners part of mouthwatering showdown.
Rosallion will face the “biggest test of his life” when he bids to turn the tables on his 2000 Guineas conqueror Notable Speech in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. This Group One event has often been the scene of a rematch from the opening Classic of the season and 10 years ago Rosallion’s trainer Richard Hannon watched Kingman gain revenge on his very own Newmarket hero Night Of Thunder at the Royal meeting. Now it is the Everleigh handler seeking redemption for his star colt having lost bragging rights in the one-mile division on the Rowley Mile. Rosallion did get his own Classic on the board when successful at the Curragh last month, but it is Charlie Appleby’s unbeaten son of Dubawi that poses the acid test for a horse Hannon has always held in the highest regard.A DREAM result for @rhannonracing 😍
Rosallion comes from off the pace to collar stablemate Haatem close home in the Irish 2,000 Guineas.The favourite needed to dig deep for @LeveySean and he did just that 🟡⚫️@Tattersalls1766 | @curraghrace pic.twitter.com/IF053cfMGS — Racing TV (@RacingTV) May 25, 2024
