Royal Ascot 2025 results: Ombudsman, True Love win but Harry’s Girl dies

Ombudsman won the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot where Wednesday’s racing was overshadowed by a fatal injury for filly Harry’s Girl in the opening contest.

William Buick sent the 7-1 winner Ombudsman clear of runner-up Anmaat in the final furlong, with See The Fire third.

The two-length victory was the second of the day for trainers John and Thady Gosden.

Favourite Los Angeles was back in fifth and appeared to pay the price of a pace topping 40mph in the second furlong set by stablemate Continuous.

“It was a case of waiting for the gap and this horse has an extraordinary turn of foot,” said John Gosden of Ombudsman.

Earlier, Harry’s Girl was injured while racing in the day’s first race, the Queen Mary Stakes, which was won by favourite True Love.

The Gosdens also won the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes with Crimson Advocate after jockey James McDonald swooped down the outside.

The Australia-based Kiwi rider timed his run to perfection on the 13-2 chance, who won the King Charles III Stakes at the meeting last year.

But the Gosdens were unable to give King Charles and Queen Camilla a winner as their horse Rainbows Edge finished seventh behind 11-1 victor Miss Information in the Kensington Palace Stakes.

Havana Hurricane was a poignant winner of the Windsor Castle Stakes for trainer Eve Johnson Houghton and jockey Charlie Bishop, who also won the race in 2021 with Chipotle.

Johnson Houghton’s thoughts immediately turned to her late father, Fulke, a Classic-winning trainer who died in February aged 84.

“I’m missing my dad, he’d have been proud. He’d be the first person I’d ring,” she said.
