2009 King Stand Stakes Result
Australian Invader Scenic Blast easily won the King Stand Stakes with a world class sprinting performance that took the breath away. He was the best backed horse of the day and his victory at 11/4 has certainly mauled the bookies big time. The win was his second leg of the Global Sprint but his connections have turned down the chance to supplement him for the Golden Jubilee Stake, preferring to go for the July Cup instead. Second was Fleeting Spirit who ran a superb race but was not quite good enough to overhaul the winner. Anglezark was third
- 1st Scenic Blast – 11/4
- 2nd Fleeting Spirit – 7/2
- 3rd Anglezark - 331

Another fantastic finish. The group split into two and for a while it appeared the winner would come from the group on the far side with Dandy Man, ridden by Frankie Dettori, looking strong. However, the Spanish-trained Equiano held off late challenges from Takeover Target and Fleeting Spirit to win. That is only jockey Olivier Peslier's second winner at Ascot.
1. Equiano 22-1
2. Takeover Target 6-1
3. Fleeting Spirit 15-8 Fav

Another favourite with Miss Andretti coming home with over two lengths to spare and she really demolished this field with only Dandy Man from Ireland splitting the other two Australian runners with a first, third and fourth for the Australians, the first 4 home the other two were also from down under. Miss Andretti won in a record time of 57.44 seconds beating the record by a full two seconds and was backed down to 3/1 favourite on the day.
1. Miss Andretti (Craig Newitt) 3-1f
2. Dandy Man (Pat Shanahan) 15-2
3. Magnus (Damien Oliver) 14-1

Chineur showed his class and is an improver as he has now completed a four-timer. This was a most taking performance and he went away from his field at the furlong pole and readily pulled clear for a comprehensive success.
1 Chineur 7/1
2 Boogie Street 16/1
3 Moss Vale 14/1
