Veracious pips One Master to victory for Oisin Murphy

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Veracious looked a future Group One winner after finishing third in both the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood last summer, but her first three starts of the current campaign were a shade underwhelming.

However, a change of tactics did the trick on the July Course under a tremendous front-running ride from Oisin Murphy.

A smart start allowed Murphy to bag the rail and Veracious was soon leading her five rivals.

Having been last of all at one stage, the William Haggas-trained One Master cruised into contention under a confident James Doyle – and it looked a case of when rather than if she would claim the lead.

However, 6-1 shot Veracious refused to bend and clung on by a neck, with Aidan O’Brien’s 5-2 favourite I Can Fly almost three lengths away in third.
