THE last of the 73 Group 1 winners sired by the multiple champion sire Sadler’s Wells, Ask was a stout stayer who also possessed a formidable turn of foot. Trained at Newmarket by Sir Michael Stoute, he had the stamina and the class to win the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom, the Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp, the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup and three other group races from 10 furlongs upwards.
