World Pool Moment Of The Day

Commonwealth Cup Day, Royal Ascot

Friday at Royal Ascot saw some brilliant performances with Perfect Power winning the Commonwealth Cup and Inspiral romping to an impressive victory in the Coronation Stakes.

Latin Lover was a poignant first Royal Ascot winner for Harry Eustace in the closing Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes, a win made all the more special by the fact the colt was ridden to victory by Eustace’s partner Hayley Turner.

It was a performance and story that won the World Pool Moment of the Day, with Latin Lover’s groom Naseem Khan collecting the bottle of champagne and £1,000 prize.

He said: “This was my first Royal Ascot lead out, my first winner and a first for my boss Harry Eustace…this is incredible.

“To have a winner at a big meeting like Royal Ascot, I’m very surprised. I’m speechless!”

Naseem along with the Harry Eustace team will also now be entered into the draw for the £34,000 World Pool Moment of the Year.

A “speechless” Naseem Khan, groom of Palace of Holyroodhouse winner LATIN LOVER, receives the World Pool Moment of the Day prize.
