ONE of the best performances of the recent feast of European racing was the victory of Charm Spirit in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes sponsored by Qipco (British Champions Mile) at Ascot last Saturday.
He held off the late challenge of the somewhat unlucky Night Of Thunder to win by half a length, his third consecutive win at the highest level, his fifth pattern success in total, and his only defeat in 2014 is his fifth place finish behind Night Of Thunder, Kingman, Australia, and Shifting Power in that vintage running of the Group 1 Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in May.
