Godolphin Land The Spoils
Godolphin's Blue Bunting finished with a late surge to land the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in the hands of Frankie Dettori.
Group One-winning filly Hooray adopted her customary front-running tactics but was a spent force heading inside the final furlong, while Memory blew any chance she might have had with a very slow start.
Together looked the likely winner when getting the better of a duel with Maqaasid passing the furlong marker, but Mahmood Al Zarooni's 16-1 chance Blue Bunting flashed home up the stands rail to score by three-quarters of a length.
