Ruling Court impressed by a stunning debut performance at Sandown

Ruling Court has skyrocketed to the top of the ante-post market for next year's 2000 Guineas following a stunning debut performance at Sandown.

Trained by Charlie Appleby and owned by Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin, the connections made a significant investment of €2.3 million at the Arqana May Breeze-Up Sale earlier this year to acquire this promising son of Justify.

Starting as the 4-9 favourite in the Martin Densham & Peter Deal Memorial British EBF Maiden Stakes— a race previously won by Arabian Crown, Nostrum, and Classic champion Kameko— Ruling Court delivered a commanding victory under jockey William Buick.

As he approached the one-furlong marker, he surged ahead, ultimately finishing five and a half lengths in front of his nearest rival and attracting 12-1 odds for both the 2000 Guineas and Derby from Paddy Power and Betfair.
