STARFORD proved the highlight of a Joseph O’Brien treble when leading home a stable 1-2 to win the featured Group 3 Tote Guarantee, Never Beaten By SP Alleged Stakes.

Backed from 33/1 to 9/1, the Newtown Anner Stud Farm Ltd-owned gelding came through to head stablemate Beset inside the last 200 yards, keeping on strongly under Scott McCullagh for a three-quarter-length win.
