Racing Roundup: Haggas Doubles Down at Ascot and Haydock

In a thrilling weekend of horse racing, several notable performances were recorded at Ascot and Haydock.

At Ascot, William Haggas achieved a double victory, with Crown Of Oaks winning the 1m2f handicap and More Thunder taking the Bunbury Cup. Crown Of Oaks, a three-year-old owned by Tony Bloom and Ian McAleavy, impressed with a three-quarters of a length victory, pulling six and a half lengths clear without much effort. The win is expected to result in a hefty rise for the horse, and he is now entered in this month's Cambridgeshire.

Crown Of Oaks' form received a boost when Shisospicy, who finished 15th in the Commonwealth Cup, won a Grade 2 at Kentucky Downs worth almost £925,000. If Crown Of Oaks gets into the Newmarket handicap, he will carry a 4lb penalty.

Meanwhile, More Thunder's victory in the Bunbury Cup added another feather to Haggas' cap. The horse is now being touted as another potential Group performer masquerading as a handicapper.

Elsewhere, George Boughey unleashed another smart prospect in El Vamos, who won her debut at Ascot. The daughter of St Mark's Basilica, a 420,000gns buy at Tattersalls Book 1 last year, impressed most in the final furlong of the mile fillies' maiden, beating the short-price favorite Maneuver. El Vamos, who is a half-sister to the Listed-placed Stop The Cavalry, drifted out to 12-1 for her debut but received late market support, eventually being sent off a 17-2 shot.

At Haydock, Time For Sandals ran with credit in the Sprint Cup, being beaten less than four lengths under Kieran Shoemark. The horse finished seventh despite being drawn in stall two in a 17-strong field. The form of Time For Sandals' Sprint Cup run received a boost when Shisospicy, who finished 15th in the Commonwealth Cup, won a Grade 2 at Kentucky Downs worth almost £925,000.

In another exciting race at Haydock, Bow Echo won the Ascendant Stakes, moving up in the 2000 Guineas market. The two-year-old horse, owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum and trained by George Boughey, is part of the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing – Maple stable.

Finally, Jack Haynes (no specific fact provided in the paragraph) and George Waud are the respective owners of Crown Of Oaks and El Vamos. Both horses have shown promising potential and are ones to watch in the upcoming races.
