Age of Kings Shocks in Jersey Stakes; Khaadem Wins Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot

Frankie Dettori bid farewell to Royal Ascot with five races but no wins, while Khaadem, an 80-1 outsider, claimed a shock victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, beating 9-1 favorite Sacred and 11-4 favorite Highfield Princess to the line.

The win was the second big-priced triumph of the week for jockey Jamie Spencer, who rode Witch Hunter to victory on Thursday at 50-1.

Charlie Hills trained Khaadem, who is now aged 7 and has quirks, but the trainer always believed in the horse and thought that Jamie Spencer was the perfect jockey for him.

In the Hardwicke Stakes, PJ McDonald won his first-ever race at Royal Ascot, riding Pyledriver to glory with 7-2 odds.

West Wind Blows and Changingoftheguard came second and third respectively, but a stewards' review was required after Pyledriver appeared to duck and dive as he hit the front.

Gary Carroll rode Snellegen to a narrow victory over Aidan O'Brien-trained Pearls and Rubies in the Chesham Stakes.
