Dylan Browne-McMonagle secured his first win at Royal Ascot
Donegal’s Dylan Browne McMonagle secured his first Royal Ascot win yesterday as he commandeered the 2/1 favourite Uxmal to the win in the 6:15 Queen Alexandra Stakes.
Joseph O’Brien achieved consecutive victories in the Queen Alexandra Stakes as Uxmal triumphed, marking the conclusion of Royal Ascot 2024.
The Owning Hill handler saddled Dawn Rising to win the extended two-mile-five-furlong marathon 12 months ago and the JP McManus-owned gelding was in the field again as he looked to defend his crown.
Ridden by William Buick, Dawn Rising led his rivals into the home straight, but his stablemate and 2-1 favourite Uxmal was going ominously well in his wing mirrors under Browne McMonagle and after hitting the front he never looked in any real danger of being caught.
The admirable veteran Run For Oscar, a luckless third last year, again made late gains to pick up minor honours, but Uxmal was well on top as he passed the post with five lengths in hand.
McMonagle said: “Massive thanks to Joseph and all the team for having him in such good form. This is definitely the biggest place in the world to have a winner, and I’m thrilled.
“It means everything – growing up as a kid, you’re looking at it and these are the places you want to ride winners. I hope this is the first of many!”
