Racing: Ouija Board mowed down her rivals in the final half-furlong to win the Prince Of Wales's Stakes on the second day of Royal Ascot this afternoon.
The mare looked to have plenty to do early in the straight but she produced a telling turn of foot for Olivier Peslier to land the Group One contest over a mile and a quarter.
Ouija Board (8-1), trained by Ed Dunlop, struck by half a length from long-time leader Electrocutionist, with Manduro three-quarters of a length away in third.
Frankie Dettori had set a steady pace on Electrocutionist, leading from Manduro and Notnowcato. He still led turning for home, where David Junior looked dangerous only for his challenge to soon falter.
At one stage it looked as though Ouija Board might struggle to get a run but once switched to the outside she quickly stamped her authority on a quality field to capture her fifth success at the highest level.
Dunlop said: "Fantastic, to win here with her is amazing - I've lost my voice.
"I watched her drift in the betting but I've never backed her before and I wasn't going to start today.
"She probably didn't quite stay against Shirocco, who was very impressive in the Coronation Cup and is probably the best mile-and-a-half horse in Europe.
"Olivier gave her a great ride and I always knew she could quicken. She can quicken against the best and she's proved that.
"This was probably the best run of her life.
"Winning a first Classic with her was important to me but coming to a big, high-profile meeting like this and winning one of the biggest races is very rewarding.
Earlier, Soviet Song ran out a thoroughly convincing winner of the Windsor Forest Stakes. Jamie Spencer was content to sit off a strong early gallop and was still second last with just over two furlongs to go.
But once he pressed the button, the response was immediate and Soviet Song bounded away from her rivals, with Echelon staying on well to grab second, two lengths adrift of the winner.
Mark Usher's Royal Alchemist finished an honourable third.
