Kyprios has collected the marquee title of the week at the 2022 Royal Ascot Festival, after clinching the Gold Cup with Ryan Moore on board. Kyprios and Moore saw off the the legendary Stradivarius to secure the coveted title in the beaming Berkshire sunshine on day three of the famous flat race meeting.
Heading into the race Stradivarius was unsurprisingly the name on everybody's lips having already secured an impressive three Gold Cup titles. A fourth victory would have been historic, equalling the great Yeats' Ascot record. Despite a fairytale story being on the cards, Kyprios and Moore had other ideas.
Throughout the race Dettori's runner paced alongside the eventual winner, with both patiently weighing up their options ahead of the final dash for home.
