Jamie Spencer rode 80-1 outsider Khaadem to victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot to become the biggest-priced winner in the race’s history.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Khaadem pipped Sacred (9-1) to the line, with 11-4 favourite Highfield Princess finishing third.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frankie Dettori, in his last appearance at Royal Ascot, was seventh on Kinross.<\/span><\/p>\n

The win was the second big-priced triumph for Spencer, 43, who rode Witch Hunter (50-1) to victory on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trained by Charlie Hills, Khaadem started well before powering through the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

Highfield Princess was among the leaders throughout, but Spencer maintained patience and, within the final furlong, Khaadem strode past the leaders to claim a shock victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s difficult for me to put into words what Jim and Fitri [Hay, owners of Khaadem] have been like as friends to me for a long time,” said Spencer. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Even my children are watching now, and in years before, when I was flying at this meeting, they were too young to understand. Now it’s nice when you get texts saying, ‘Well done’.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hills said he had “always believed in” the seven-year-old horse. “He does have his quirks but most sprinters do. It’s just amazing that we’ve got to where we have now at his age,” the trainer said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I just really wanted to run him over six [furlongs] here. Last year he won the Group Two over five [<\/span>in the King George Qatar Stakes at Goodwood<\/span><\/a>] and I was really keen to take the blinkers off him and train him like a proper horse.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thought Jamie was the perfect jockey. With this horse, anything can happen.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere at Ascot, Gary Carroll rode <\/span>Snellen <\/strong>(12-1) to a narrow victory over Aidan O’Brien-trained favourite Pearls and Rubies (7-4) in the Chesham Stakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snellen, trained by Champion Hurdle winner Gavin Cromwell, held off Pearls and Rubies’ late push to give him a second Royal Ascot triumph, as Golden Mind (10\/1) and outsider Oddyssey (125\/1) were tied in a dead heat for third place.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thought I was beat, to be honest,” said Carroll. “The last half furlong [felt like it] was long, but she’s very good for me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Jersey Stakes, <\/span>Age of Kings <\/strong>(22-1) pulled off another surprise result to give O’Brien his fourth win in the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was also O’Brien’s fourth win of the week, placing him alongside John and Thady Gosden at the top of the standings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite it being Age of Kings’ first race in more than 300 days, Wayne Lordan rode fiercely to pip Zoology (22-1) and Holloway Boy (28-1) to first place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Favourite Covey, ridden by Dettori, finished sixth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
