Group 2 win for Doctor Fremantle
DOCTOR Fremantle came from last to first in fine fashion to win the Princess of Wales’s Blue Square Stakes.
Last season’s Derby fourth failed to fire at Royal Ascot and he was sent off an 8/1 chance here behind several more fancied rivals.
The strong early pace set by Schiaparelli ensured the race was run at a true tempo and allowed Sir Michael Stoute’s charge to come with a late flourish.
There was some scrimmaging that resulted in a stewards’ enquiry but Doctor Fremantle was not involved and Ryan Moore brought him with a beautifully-timed challenge.
He led just inside the final furlong and held off both Schiaparelli (demoted to third) and Alwaary (promoted).
