Racing Replays

Jockey Rob Hornby has enjoyed a Moët & Chandon July Festival like no other as he partnered Alcohol Free (14-1) to victory in the feature £600,000 Group One Darley July Cup (6f) – just 24 hours after his success aboard Prosperous Voyage in the three-day meeting’s other Group One contest, the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes.

ALCOHOL FREE WINS DARLEY JULY CUP TO HAND JOCKEY ROB HORNBY GROUP ONE DOUBLE AT THE MOËT & CHANDON JULY FESTIVAL

 

The 27 year old becomes the first jockey to win both Group One races in the same season since Johnny Murtagh in 2004. It was a first success in the premier sprint contest for trainer Andrew Balding and a second for owner Jeff Smith – 38 years after his first with Chief Singer in 1984.
