The Coventry Stakes 2007 Result

The first race of the 2007 Royal Ascot was all about Henrythenavigator trained by Aiden O'Brien and ridden by Mick Kinane and won in good fashion racing up with the pace on the far side before challenging Pencil Hill in the last two furlongs to take it up inside the final furlong. Interestingly it looks like the best ground will be up the middle of the track as that is where the first three finished.

1. Henrythenavigator (MJ Kinane) 11-4f
2. Swiss Franc (Ted Durcan) 25-1
3. Luck Money (Richard Quinn) 13-2
20 ran

1 Red Clubs 11-2
2 Pacific Pride 66-1
3 Amadeus Wolf 9-1
