Big Evs Wins King George Stakes at Goodwood

Big Evs triumphed over Asfoora in a thrilling finish to the King George Stakes at Goodwood, securing victory by a short head. Ridden by Tom Marquand, Big Evs established an early lead but faced a strong challenge from Asfoora, who had previously won the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot. Despite Asfoora's late surge, Big Evs held on, marking a significant comeback after finishing third in their last encounter. Trainer Mick Appleby celebrated his fourth win of the Glorious Goodwood meeting, noting the horse's exceptional speed and potential for upcoming races. With plans for Big Evs to retire at the season's end, Appleby expressed gratitude for the support from owners and the team behind the horse. The victory is seen as a pivotal moment in Big Evs's career, setting him up for a possible Group One appearance at York on August 23.
