Ten Bob Tony causes huge shock in Queen Anne Stakes

Ten Bob Tony caused an almighty shock in the Queen Anne Stakes, as the outsider of the field got up late to land the opening race of Royal Ascot 2026.
Sent off at 50-1, Ed Walker’s five-year-old was having just his third run over a mile – the last one being in May 2024 – but stayed on strongly under Kieran Shoemark.
Opera Ballo set very stiff fractions under Billy Loughnane and was still in front entering the final furlong until More Thunder emerged to challenge, before Ten Bob Tony came over the top from the back of the pack to win by half a length.
Notable Speech, so impressive in the Lockinge Stakes, never really threatened to land a blow as the 9-4 favourite.
