Lazzat Wins Jubilee Stakes Amid Post-Race Drama

French-trained Lazzat, ridden by James Doyle and trained by Jerome Reynier, won the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, narrowly defeating Japan's Satono Reve and denying Japan its first win at the meeting. The victory marked a successful day for Doyle and owners Wathnan Racing, who also won the Chesham Stakes earlier with Humidity. After the race, Lazzat unseated Doyle and ran loose, nearly injuring a groundsworker before being safely secured. Trainer Jerome Reynier indicated Lazzat will target future sprint races, especially on straight courses where he remains unbeaten. In other results, Rebel's Romance, trained by Charlie Appleby and ridden by William Buick, won the Group Two Hardwicke Stakes, ending a winless streak for Appleby at the meeting. The eventful day added to the drama and excitement of Royal Ascot.
