King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes (Group 1)

THE big draw of the day was the much-anticipated clash between Enable, Crystal Ocean and Anthony Van Dyck in the King George and Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes, with the added intrigue of another trio of Ballydoyle runners, including the pacemaking pair Hunting Horn and Norway, which brought back memories of the epic 1975 renewal when Dick Hern ran two pacemakers for Bustino in his bid to thwart the brilliant Grundy.
