Well-backed Delacroix wins Coral-Eclipse thriller after ‘mind-blowing' ride from Ryan Moore
RYAN MOORE showed just why he is considered the best jockey on the planet with an epic winning ride on Delacroix in the Coral-Eclipse. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong during the race, but he somehow managed to run down the favourite Ombudsman in the final strides. 1 And, judged by the deafening noise that erupted from the stands as he flew home for a last-gasp win, plenty of bets were landed in the process. Aidan O'Brien, who has just the eight Eclipse wins to his name, was just as dumbfounded as the rest of us as the well-punted 3-1 second favourite dramatically surged from nowhere to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. He said: 'I couldn't believe it, they went hard and then they steadied it, and then they went again. Ryan kept calm and came with one go at the leader, it was a masterful ride, it was mind-blowing. 'He said his plan changed about four times during the race, I thought he'd try to lead but it didn't work out and he ended up where he did. 'You leave it up to him, he knows the horses, there is always a Plan A, B and C, I'd say that was Plan Z.' It was Plan Z because the original thought had been that Delacroix, who flopped as 2-1 favourite in the Derby last month, would try to grab the early lead in the six-runner field. But he ended up being shuffled back through the pack as French horse Sosie and outsider Hotazhell took it up, and the winner was running up a blind alleyway as they rounded the bend for home. And then, just as he was getting rolling, stablemate Camille Passarro nipped up on his outer and boxed him in, costing him precious momentum and room at a crucial point in the race. Moore managed to angle him out, gather him together and unleash him with a sweeping run to catch 6-4 jolly Ombudsman was a ridiculously impressive win. It was the sort of escape act that would have made Harry Houdini proud. Moore said: 'He began OK, nobody really wanted to make the running and it was a bit messy. 'William (Buick) wanted the same position as me and he was on a bigger, stronger, older horse so I had to give way. 'Ombudsman got first run on me but Delacroix is a very good horse with a mighty turn of foot, and he quickened up really well. 'It was a steadily run race for that class of horse, but his change of gear made the difference, it got him out of trouble. 'He was the only horse in the race who hadn't won a Group 1 but he has threatened to for a long time, he is a big, strong, beautiful horse so it is great to get this one.' Usually the master of understatement, that's about as effusive as Moore is going to get. This must be a good horse. It was a brilliant race and the good news is he will likely meet Ombudsman again for round two at York in next month's Juddmonte International. That is very likely to be the runner-up's target as a philosophical John Gosden took the defeat on the chin. He said: 'I did warn people beforehand it could be a messy race and that's how it turned out, but he has run a brilliant race. 'We got caught a little bit wide and the winner has just come with one strong run and done us, but that's racing. 'I don't think we were helped out by the tight gap between this race and the Prince Of Wales's at Ascot, it is only 17 days, so when you consider that he's run a great race.'

We tried beating last year's Silverstone pole time in F1 25… by driving it backwards
Gaming Who knew Northamptonshire was this lumpy? Skip 8 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Last year, George Russell put his Mercedes on pole for the British Grand Prix by driving a surgically precise 1m25.819s around Silverstone. Like all of Russell's career pole laps to date, there was an element of underdog victory to it, a triumph of talent and performance under pressure against the odds. The odds being, of course, quicker McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari packages, depending on the season. Let it be noted, however, that Russell elected to drive his pole lap around Silverstone by going the correct way around the track. We've gone back and checked – they all did. Advertisement - Page continues below One of F1 25's unsung new features is reverse layouts. Silverstone is one of three circuits that can now be raced in the opposite direction, along with Zandvoort and the Red Bull Ring, and after all the time we've spent lapping it in the usual, status quo, boring way, the chance to take on the layout in reverse got us thinking: can we beat Russell's lap if we race in reverse? With that hare-brained notion filling our minds and the mental image of waving to adoring stands full of patriotic fans on a cool-down lap making our chests puff out with pride, we head to the track. And the first thing we have to contend with is that, goodness, this feels so wrong . You might like It was bad enough when they changed where the start-finish line was a few years ago, but this is another level of disorienting. The reality of driving such an historic circuit backwards, the place where Formula One began and where every aspiring British F1 driver logs untold virtual hours of videogame hotlaps, feels like burning along the wrong way down the M25. Forget sector times, our eyes keep getting drawn to the mirrors to see if the police are about to pull us over. It takes ten laps just to shake that feeling, and to draw the roughest of mental sketches of the brake markers and turn-in points. So far we are, it should go without saying, quite a lot slower than when driving Silverstone clockwise. Advertisement - Page continues below Then comes the next mental adjustment to contend with: the elevation. Silverstone isn't exactly famed for its dramatic topography, but driving that familiar space anti-clockwise seems to reveal much more elevation change than you perceive when driving it clockwise. After navigating those slow, twitchy curves around Club and Vale, it's uphill – notably uphill – up to Stowe, which can be taken even closer to flat-out since we're not carrying as much speed. The elevation doesn't level out along the Hangar straight, either. We're still gaining altitude as we head into Chapel-Becketts-Maggotts, a trio of corners that form a kind of racing tongue-twister when approached in reverse. Anyone who's hot-lapped Silverstone plenty knows to gradually scrub off the speed through each of these corners since they get sequentially tighter. When taking them in reverse and going uphill, of course, it's the complete opposite. Now it's about carrying maximum speed through Chapel and into Becketts, scrubbing off just a tiny bit of speed in order to make the apex and line up a flat-out exit through Maggotts, where your corner exit speed is compounded all the way round to Luffield. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter. Look out for your regular round-up of news, reviews and offers in your inbox. Get all the latest news, reviews and exclusives, direct to your inbox. Which leads onto mental hurdle number three: Silverstone in reverse might be the most technical track in existence. After 30 laps, roughly 12 of which have actually remained within track limits, we're still miles off the pace, and it's because this reverse layout seems to bring out an even more pronounced version of Silverstone's defining challenge - precise turn-in points at high-speed corners. So many of its corners are taken with either just a momentary tap of the brakes or a single downshift. You have to be incredibly confident, committed and precise about your turn-in point at those speeds, because the trajectory of your corner exit can vary massively. That's one reason we're not getting near our usual Silverstone hotlap times. Russell would probably be looking pretty smug by now if he could see our efforts. The combination of going uphill instead of down on the straights and lacking the precision on high-speed turn-in is hurting our lap times, and there's not even much we can do about it in the setup menu. The demands on the car are similar to the clockwise layout, only… more. We turn down the downforce a bit, and find a couple of tenths after another five laps. We're hours in now. The fruits of our labour? A *cough* 1m28s. Just the three seconds shy of Mr Spreadsheet's lap from last year. We're blaming the hills. A glance at the global leaderboard time reveals that nobody else has beaten the 2024 pole time in reverse either – at the time of writing, the fastest is a 1.25.9 – so maybe there's something to our theory after all.
