Eustace reveals Royal Ascot thinking

Assistant trainer Harry Eustace has confirmed Society Power is being considered for two races at Royal Ascot after his win at Goodwood.

The three-year-old won his fifth race in a row on Saturday as jockey Andrea Atzeni guided him home in the Netbet Sport Handicap at Goodwood.

Society Power produced a late surge to beat Emaraaty by a short head and connections are excited for the future plans.

The bay colt is now set for a rest before Royal Ascot and Eustace admits they will pick between two races.

He told reporters: “He kept us waiting with a photo, but he is a joy to train. He is a handicapper’s worst nightmare as he never wins by very far. He is very tough and he keeps finding when we step him up in class.

“There are two options at Royal Ascot for him. There is the Jersey or we step him up to a mile for the Britannia. A fast-run seven furlongs there was just about ideal by a nostril.

“He is a horse that always had ability last year. He was from the breeze-ups, so we were a bit quiet last year as we just wanted to mind him as much as anything.”
