Shaquille Wins Commonwealth Cup

Oisin Murphy finally lands his first winner at Royal Ascot as Shaquille wins the Commonwealth Cup.

Shaquille produced an extraordinary performance to provide Julie Camacho with her first winner at Royal Ascot in the Commonwealth Cup.

The three-year-old arrived on the crest of a wave having won his last four races but all hope looked to have gone when he reared up on leaving the stalls.

Three-time champion jockey Oisin Murphy did not panic though, and by halfway he was back in contention but it remained to be seen if his early exertions had taken their toll.

The favourite Little Big Bear hit the front on entering the final furlong but 9-1 shot Shaquille was creeping into it and when Murphy asked for everything, there was still plenty left.

Camacho was registering their first Group One victory as Shaquille came home a length and a quarter clear, with big outsider Swingalong in third.
