Nature Strip beat Twilight Calls and Acklam Express to win the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot on the 14 June 2022.
Nature Strip moved to the front by the halfway point and quickly moved well clear under the experienced James McDonald, who was riding his second Royal Ascot winner. It is the first Australian-trained winner at Royal Ascot since Black Caviar in 2012.
Bred by Golden Grove Stud, Nature Strip is a 7 year old gelding by Nicconi out of the Desert Sun mare, Strikeline.
6YO Hooked won his first race in some time on Saturday 15th April 2017 at Caulfield in the 1400m Group 3 handicap ridden by jockey Luke Nolen.
Trainer Robert Smerdon said “You have a plan in the back of your mind about how a race is going to play out and you hope that it does but more often than not some other variable comes into play and it doesn’t work out, but today just went as we’d expected and hoped,” Smerdon said.
“He had the barrier, he got a really good cart along and was able to present at the right time so it went exactly as it looked it might.”
