Al Aasy sneaks through for Glorious triumph
Jim Crowley took advantage of a late gap on the rails to seize victory.
Al Aasy overcame a troubled passage to claim top honours in the Coral Glorious Stakes at Goodwood. The William Haggas-trained gelding was a 3-1 shot to claim his fifth victory at Group Three level, with Karl Burke’s Aimeric the marginal favourite at 5-2. Al Aasy, who came close to Group One glory when narrowly beaten by Pyledriver in the 2021 Coronation Cup, was travelling comfortably best of the five-strong field as the race hotted up, but was all dressed up with nowhere to go a furlong out in the hands of Jim Crowley.Wow!
