St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1)

BOW Echo remains unbeaten after this narrow success, in which Gstaad (second) reduced the 2000 Guineas deficit to a short head. The first three home were the fastest three into stride, with Bow Echo and Talk Of New York racing keenly and engaging in a bit of bumper cars through the first furlong, with Billy Loughnane on the winner taking a pull and dropping in, which would force him into a wide ground losing challenge on the bend.
