Daiquiri Bay edged out rivals in a three-way sprint finish to win the Ebor Handicap at [ADDRESS]. The 10-1 shot came up the nearside rails to beat a 22-strong field and claim the lion’s share of the £500,000 prize fund. [PERSON_NAME] (13-2) took second in a photo finish, with the [PERSON_NAME]-trained Opportunity (14-1) finishing third.

Winning jockey [PERSON_NAME] praised the strategic execution, stating the race followed the plan laid out by trainer [PERSON_NAME] to secure victory in [ADDRESS]’s richest handicap. "That's three wins this year, you can't really fault him," he told ITV Sport. "We have had a good year with this lad and luckily we have been able to plan him out."

The campaign featured zero hiccups, with the trainer plotting the course back in April. Following a comeback win at [ADDRESS] and a major handicap triumph at Royal Ascot, the four-year-old gelding proved ideal on the slower ground. Pre-race favourite Love Me Tender (7-2) finished tenth.
