Crazy just how far he has won by, admits Spencer

TWO Tribes bagged his second major prize in the space of a week with victory in the Coral Stewards’ Cup on Saturday.

- PRESS ASSOCIATION REPORTERS

Richard Spencer’s charge was a 25-1 winner of the International Handicap at Ascot last Saturday and was turned out swiftly under a 6lb penalty for the £250,000 on the final day of the Qatar Goodwood Festival.

With David Egan again in the saddle, 11-2 shot Two Tribes was up with the pace from the start in the group that raced closest to the stands’ rail and took over the lead from last year’s winner Get It entering the final two furlongs.

His stablemate Run Boy Run looked the biggest threat over on the far side of the track entering the closing stages, but Two Tribes kept up the gallop and was well on top as he passed the post with just over two lengths in hand.

Strike Red and Jakajaro chased him home in second and third respectively, with Run Boy Run fourth and another Spencer runner in Twilight Calls fifth.

"I thought all three of them had really good chances leading into it, but Two Tribes is in great form and when you get a sprinter in this sort of form they're hard to beat," the trainer told reporters.
