Gleneagles wins St. James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (The Associated Press)
Gleneagles surged to victory by two-and-a-half lengths in the St. James’s Palace Stakes, the feature race of the opening day of Royal Ascot on Tuesday, one of three wins for jockey Ryan Moore. Race outsider Latharnach was second and Consort, ridden by Frankie Dettori, finished third in the showcase event. Dettori was seeking his 50th Ascot victory and started strongly but Gleneagles, a Dual Guineas winner, found his stride with a furlong and a half remaining and took the win.
