That was one for Australia.

Australian horse “Nature Strip” has become a so called “freak of a horse”, after sprinting away and taking home the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes on day one of the Royal Ascot meeting.

After COVID-19 affected competition, it was a decent wait for Nature Strip to prove to the world he was one of the best sprinters- now trainer Chris Waller has led him to a victory for all ages.

They managed to do this in front of the first big crowd at capacity since 2019-  Due to Covid-19 crowd restrictions.
