Pride of Arras stuns Dante field with 18-1 success
The Journal
|May 16, 2025
PRIDE Of Arras caused a real upset in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes as The Lion In Winter was soundly beaten at York.
-
The latter horse was the ante-post Derby favourite and was expected to take a step towards the Classic at York, but after wrestling with Ryan Moore in the early stages, the 8-11 market leader never seemed to land a blow and finished unplaced.
Instead it was Pride Of Arras, ridden by Rossa Ryan and trained by Ralph Beckett, who came to the fore with length-and-a-quarter triumph at odds of 18-1, with 16-1 shot Damysus second and Wimbledon Hawkeye third.
Pride Of Arras, who won on his only juvenile start at Sandown, is now a 4-1 chance with Paddy Power for the Betfred Derby, having been available at 50s before the race.
