Trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam celebrates the biggest success of her training career - and rider William Buick with what he believes is the 100th Group One victory of his decorated career - as Mill Stream comes up trumps in the My Pension Expert July Cup at Newmarket.
Art Power took the 11-strong field along for much of the six-furlong contest, closely pursued by Swingalong, and the latter had poked her head in front by the time she reached the final furlong. In a race that turned into something of a scrap, Jane Chapple-Hyam’s 11-1 shot Mill Stream – third in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at the royal meeting – was produced with a well-timed challenge on the far side of the track by William Buick, swooping late to deny Swingalong by a neck.
Vandeek, who suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of Inisherin in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock Park in May before missing the rematch in the Commonwealth Cup owing to an unsatisfactory scope, shaped with plenty of encouragement in third.
Art Power boxed on to finish fourth ahead of the slightly disappointing Inisherin in fifth. Buick was completing a four-timer on the day after he previously enjoyed a treble for Godolphin and Charlie Appleby courtesy of Desert Flower, First Conquest and Ancient Truth.
"A good day at the office," said the rider in typically understated style to Racing TV's Nick Lightfoot as we bring you the big race and interviews in this Group One package.
