Naval Crown just grabbed a 33-1 shock victory in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes as he turned the tables on stable-mate Creative Force (12-1) on the final day of Royal Ascot 2022 on Saturday afternoon.
Naval Crown had been second to his Charlie Appleby-trained stablemate Creative Force in last season's Jersey Stakes at the Royal meeting. But the places were reversed as the two four-year-old sons of Dubawi dominated the Group One sprint.
Although they were separated by almost the full width of the track, it was James Doyle's mount on the stands side who prevailed by a neck from Creative Force, who was ridden by Liverpool FC fan William Buick.
