An incredible week for Clive Cox and Adam Kirby reached even greater heights when My Dream Boat upset the odds to win the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot on Wednesday.

Just over 24 hours on from winning the King's Stand Stakes with Profitable, the trainer-jockey combination bagged their second Group One when My Dream Boat, the outsider of six, sprang a 16-1 surprise.

Beaten a long way by the 8-13 favourite A Shin Hikari in France last time out, My Dream Boat turned the form around with a vengeance, while the Japanese superstar finished last after making the running.

Yutaka Take on A Shin Hikari - the highest-rated Flat horse in the world - was sending out distress signals soon after turning for home.

Ryan Moore then produced Found and looked sure to give Aidan O'Brien his 50th Royal Ascot winner, but Kirby was just starting his run on My Dream Boat. Cox's four-year-old even defied a drift into the centre of the track to beat Found by a neck.

Kirby, who became a father for the first time on Tuesday when his girlfriend Megan Evans gave birth to a boy, Charlie, said: "The race went perfect. It was a very gutsy performance. I knew it was tight, but I didn't know exactly so I waited for the result.

"This week has proved if you get the chance you can deliver them. It's been a great week and I hope mum and Megan are watching. It's great having a newborn and it's been an unbelievable week. I saw my son for the first time last night and it's indescribable."

Cox said: "I'm absolutely blown away. It's been an amazing week and the horses are running really well.

"I was full of admiration for the Japanese horse in France when we took him on. We knew we didn't quite run our race. He's found a perfect rhythm today and really found when Adam got into him and asked him to stretch.

"After being beaten last time, he's not surprised me - but his upward curve has been phenomenal and we got it right today. It's amazing, it's why you do the job and it feels like a dream."

My Dream Boat could return to Sandown for the Coral-Eclipse on July 2 if conditions are suitable, but Cox has given the four-year-old an entry in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud a day later, although that race is over a mile and a half.

O'Brien said of runner-up Found: "She ran very well. Ryan was very happy with the filly. Our filly quickened well, but that's racing."
