Awesome Yeats

Just the one winner at Ascot yesterdy but wht a winner!!!!

Channel 4 Sport:

"YEATS showed all his brilliance to record an unprecedented fourth victory in the Ascot Gold Cup. The super stayer's rider, Johnny Murtagh, was keen to make it a real test of stamina and struck for home on the winner over three furlongs out. He quicklyopened up a clear lead and never looked like being caught from that moment. Yeats's victory was the first for an eight-year-old in the staying showpiece in more than a century and winning trainer Aidan O'Brien was quick to pay tribute to his champion. He said: 'Unbelievable - that's all I can say.'"
