Betway Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap
Royal Zabeel won the Betway Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap at Newmarket over 7f on good to firm ground at joint-favourite odds of 10/3. The winner raced prominently on the far side, went to the front over 2f out and was pushed along inside the final furlong before staying on to assert in the closing stages. Goldmoyne travelled prominently in the middle of the field, led early in the race and was still in contention when the field came together 2f out, but could only stay on into second place inside the final furlong before being outpaced late on. Crown Board finished third, beaten 1.25 lengths by the winner.
