Cicero's Gift was another shock winner on British Champions Day at Ascot with a 100-1 strike in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.
Trained by Charles Hills and ridden by Jason Watson, the bay was an outsider in a field of 16 with a draw of stall one.
From there he hugged the rail throughout and began to make real progress from the two-furlong marker, hitting the front with a furlong left to run and holding off all challengers as The Lion In Winter was second and Alakazi was third.
Cicero’s Gift’s surprise win followed on from 200-1 shot Powerful Glory’s triumph in the British Champions Sprint earlier in the afternoon.
Another shock! ⚡️
