James McDonald hoping for more Aussie success in 'great week in racing' at Royal Ascot

The world’s number one jockey James McDonald is eager to enjoy yet more Royal Ascot success at “one of the greatest week’s in racing”.

The Australian-based New Zealand native celebrated Group 1 glory 12 months ago when he steered champion sprinter Nature Strip to King’s Stand Stakes success.

McDonald, 31, expects to have up to a dozen mounts during the five-day royal extravaganza with his best chances on the Australian sprinters, Coolangatta in the King’s Stand, and Artorius in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.
