Almeraq completes return from 'horror fall' with Ascot win

Almeraq won the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 22, 2024, in a photo finish. This victory marked a significant return for the horse after what was described as a "horror fall" during the 2023 Prix de l'Abbaye. Trained by Richard Hannon, Almeraq demonstrated strong form by defeating a competitive international field. The win was particularly notable given the horse's previous setback, highlighting its resilience and the skill of its training team. The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes is a Group 1 flat race run over 6 furlongs (1,207 meters) and is a prestigious event in the British flat racing calendar.
