‘Monster' Royal Ascot horse outruns a car in blistering workout under Ryan Moore – as bookies scramble to slash price

It looks like a stiff six furlongs will be no problem for the raider REV COUNTER 'Monster' Royal Ascot horse outruns a car in blistering workout under Ryan Moore – as bookies scramble to slash price Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EVERY punter knows the famous story of how legendary racehorse Frankel famously outran the 7.13am train from Newmarket to Cambridge. But it looks like a new legend could be made after a 'monster' Royal Ascot runner appeared to show more zip than a car in a 'blistering' piece of work. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Settling in nicely, #サトノレーヴ! 🇯🇵🇬🇧 Ryan Moore worked SATONO REVE this morning ahead of their G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (21 June) tilt at #RoyalAscot. 📽️ @Ascot | #WorldPool — World Pool (@WorldPool) June 11, 2025 Millionaire runner Satono Reve impressed all those who saw him on the July track at Newmarket on Wednesday morning. Trained by Noriyuki Hori, the international raider looked a machine when extending under the watchful eye of his master trainer. Footage of his work showed a car in the distance fail to get up close to the six-year-old as he absolutely flew past those near the post. And his workmate, a local horse trained by James Horton, was soon left trailing in his wake. But it was Moore's role in the saddle that really got tongues wagging ahead of Satono Reve's intended run in the star-studded Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes next Saturday. Satono Reve has won seven of his 11 career races and amassed more than £2.5million in prize money. British punters may not know much about him but he has form against Ka Ying Rising - officially the best sprinter in the world. Paddy Power and Ladbrokes cut the speedster to 6-1 from 8s after footage of Satono Reve's work under Moore spread online. Paddy's Paul Binfield said: "There's been a bit of interest for the Japanese raider this morning and while it's hard to equate winning a Grade One at Chukyo with the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, the volume we've seen has forced us into evasive action and the Hori-trained runner is into 6-1 from 8s." Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes added: "Satono Reve placed behind superstar Ka Ying Rising on both his previous trips abroad, and punters are excited to see how that translates at Royal Ascot." Punters absolutely loved what they saw. One said Satono Reve 'burned up the turf' while another added in response to the footage simply: "Monster." He'll have his work cut out in the race proper, with globe-trotting superstar Lazzat, one of many recently bought by Wathnan, heading the market at 3-1.

Roald Dahl-inspired Wallace and Gromit sculpture part of charity trail

Roald Dahl-inspired Wallace and Gromit sculpture part of charity trail Big Friendly Wallace, featuring large ears, sits on a bench with a giant teacup of fizzy Frobscottle – the green drink consumed by giants in Dahl's 1982 novel The BFG (Image: BBC ) A Wallace and Gromit sculpture inspired by Roald Dahl and Sir Quentin Blake's Big Friendly Giant (BFG) will form part of a charity trail across Bristol this summer. Big Friendly Wallace, featuring large ears, sits on a bench with a giant teacup of fizzy Frobscottle – the green drink consumed by giants in Dahl's 1982 novel The BFG. ‌ The artwork is one of 53 forming the Gromit Unleashed trail, which will be hitting the streets of Bristol from June 30, in aid of the city's children's hospital charity The Grand Appeal. ‌ Five sculptures were unveiled overlooking the Clifton Suspension Bridge on Wednesday, including Netflix's re-imagining of Wednesday Addams as Aardman's Feathers McGraw. Feathers is painted in purple and black shades, with the phrase "Wednesday's child is full of woe" printed on its centre. Article continues below There is also Walk the Lime, a citrus inspired Gromit that pays homage to the 2005 Johnny Cash biopic – complete with a lime perched on the dog's nose. The Norbot gnome from Wallace and Gromit's Vengeance Most Fowl 2024 film will also make an appearance on the trail. Nicola Masters, director of The Grand Appeal, said: "We are thrilled to be bringing the magic and wonder of cinema, film, stories and legends to our third Gromit Unleashed trail this summer, turning the streets of Bristol and beyond into a living storybook. Article continues below "Each Aardman sculpture is a character, each corner a scene, and together they form a spectacular adventure – all to raise funds for The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children's Hospital Charity. "By following the trail, families, friends, residents of Bristol and visitors from the UK and all over the world won't just be part of a city-wide celebration of creativity – everyone will be helping to create a brighter, and better future for young patients in the children's hospital. "This year, Gromit unleashes the magic of cinema grounded in a very real cause."
