Royal Ascot 2022: Kyprios strikes Gold for Aidan O'Brien

Kyprios (13-8 favourite) held off Mojo Star in a thrilling battle to land the Ascot Gold Cup on the third day of Royal Ascot 2022 – also denying Stradivarius a record-equalling fourth victory.

Aidan O’Brien’s four-year-old, under Ryan Moore, grabbed the Group One feature in Berkshire, beating Mojo Star (15-2) by a half-a-length with triple Gold star Stradivarius (2-1) third, unable to join the great Yeats – another former Ballydoyle inmate – on four successes.

John and Thady Gosden’s staying star missed out on a fourth win last season as Subjectivist landed the Gold Cup and although the eight-year-old returned to Berkshire again, it was the up-and-coming Kyprios who landed the spoils.
