- Brilliant winner makes up for Guineas loss
- Victorious colt favourite for Sussex Stakes
Something had to give in the St James’s Palace Stakes here on Tuesday and it proved to be the unbeaten record of Notable Speech, the favourite, as Richard Hannon’s unshakeable faith in his colt Rosallion was rewarded with victory by a neck in the feature race on day one of the royal meeting.
“Quite often, you call these horses something that they’re not,” Hannon said afterwards, “and quite often you are disappointed, it’s an occupational hazard. But this lad has never let me down.”
