Sandown Thursday

SANDOWN Park staged Britain’s biggest evening race meeting of the season on Thursday, featuring the Star Sports Brigadier Gerard Stakes, which was won by Ombudsman (John and Thady Gosden/William Buick). The son of Night Of Thunder was runner-up 12 months ago before landing the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot and he confirmed himself the best older horse in training in the UK, with victory in the Juddmonte International at York.
