Earth Shot swoops for Ribblesdale honours
By Racing TV
Last Updated: Thu 18 Jun 2026
James Doyle got off the mark for the week at Royal Ascot when Earth Shot reeled in Johanna Walsh in a rather dramatic Ribblesdale Stakes.
Hector Crouch was unseated from Lady Roisia coming out of the stalls and the loose horse ended up at the front of the pack, setting Venetia alight who subsequently set a stiff gallop.
Coming off the home bend Joseph O’Brien’s Johanna Walsh kicked clear looking to give his trainer a fifth winner of the week and as Oaks runner-up Legacy Link was seemingly not over those exertions, she looked to have slipped the field.
Doyle was getting a real tune out of William Haggas’ Earth Shot (4-1) out wide though, and despite having three lengths to make up in the final furlong, got up to win by a head, with Gilded Prize back in third.
