Irish Trainer Adrian Murray saw Valiant Force race to victory in a shock start to Day Three at Royal Ascot with the racehorse priced at a remarkable 150/1 in the Norfolk Stakes.
Owned by Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing, Valiant Force was always up with the pace in the centre of the track under Rossa Ryan and while he had previous experience with two runs, he was unconsidered by punters.
Bookmakers were in clover as 66-1 chance Malc finished a length-and-a-quarter second, with well-supported Elite Status, sent off the market leader at 7-4, only third.
