LAZZER BEAM

French speedster reigns supreme in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes

- BY JOE REILLY

LAZZAT capped a terrific week for leading owners Wathnan in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The Jerome Reynier-trained 9/2 shot was well-fancied to give the big-spending group more glory at this year’s meeting.

Jockey James Doyle was keen to dominate a world-class field in the Group 1 showpiece, breaking smartly and making every yard of the running.

The duo looked to having achieved just that only to face a dangerous late challenge from red-hot 2/1 jolly Satono Reve.
