Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed)
Aidan O'Brien hasn't won this since 2022 and will be hopeful that ante-post favourite Sergei Diaghilev can bring that relatively barren run to an end. He had a couple of subsequent winners in behind at the Curragh on debut and is respected, but the vote goes to SALE SHARK. Hugo Palmer's colt made quite the impression when winning at Hamilton and may well be the type to make waves this season as a half-brother to the precocious New Providence. Controlla probably sets the form standard after going down by a neck in a Group 3 on her introduction, although any number of these could progress significantly, including Boleto, who won despite doing plenty wrong at Pontefract. Others to note include Celeron and One Number.

Windsor Castle Stakes Overview
The Windsor Castle Stakes is a Listed flat race in horseracing that takes place at every year at Royal Ascot. The race is run over a distance of 5 furlongs at Ascot Racecourse and is open to two-year-old horses.
Even though the race itself is not considered to be as high a standard as other races scheduled at Royal Ascot, it is still seen as a race that gives juveniles some exposure before they go on to become elite sprinters. It is very much considered a race where potential future stars compete.
Renowned Irish jockey Pat Eddery boasts the most successful record in the race with six wins in this race. The first of those came on Barrys Gamble in 1988 with the last victory on Irony in 2001. The most successful trainer in this race is former England international footballer Mick Channon who has three winners to his name.
