Israr turns over hot 1-3 favourite to land Princess of WalesCrowley nets double after Jasour’s jaunt in July Stakes
Charlie Appleby, the trainer of Adayar, said here on Thursday that there will be “a decision to make” on whether the 2021 Derby winner can run in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot later this month, after his five-year-old was beaten at long odds-on behind Israr in the Princess of Wales’s Stakes here on Thursday.
Adayar was a 1-3 chance to beat just three opponents in the Group Two contest and surged into the lead, with Israr in close attendance, around three furlongs from home. He was soon labouring to keep Israr at bay, however, and while John Gosden’s colt ran on well up the final slope, Adayar weakened to finish four-and-a-half lengths adrift at the line.
