Overview

  • Asfoora scored by about a length and a quarter, with 100/1 outsider Ain't Nobody second and Frost At Dawn third.
  • Sent off around 11/1, she rebounded from below-par runs at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood after finishing fourth in last year's Nunthorpe.
  • The victory adds to her 2024 Royal Ascot win in the King Charles III Stakes, underscoring her staying power at the top level.
  • Jockey Oisin Murphy praised the effort to bring her from Australia and called her performance "electric."
  • Trainer Henry Dwyer credited stable girl Chenelle Ellis, who has overseen the mare since arriving before Ascot in June, as the race headlined the penultimate day of York's Ebor meeting.
