With William Pike in the saddle, the son of Zoustar settled behind the leader and was able to ease of their heels at the top of the home straight. As the Leon & Troy Corstens-trained sprinter let down, Comfort Me (+4000) went with him on his outside, but he quickly go the better of the roughie. However, the race favourite Kissonallforcheeks (+320) was running home strong and challenged right on the line but didn’t get there in time. 2021: Valour Road proves too classy in AJ Scahill Stakes The Simon Miller-trained Valour Road (+600) ran home from the back of a small field to claim the Group 3 AJ Scahill Stakes at Ascot. After finishing ninth in the Group 1 Railway Stakes the start prior, dropping back from 1600m to 1400m clearly worked a treat for seven-year-old gelding. The race favourite Massimo (+280) led the field up to the way to the 100m mark, but the winner and Stageman (+290) finished too strong for the leader and they ran over the top of him late. 2020: Kementari breaks lengthy winless drought in AJ Scahill Stakes James Cummings and Chris Parnham combined with Kementari (+700) to take out the Group 3 AJ Scahill Stakes, with the win breaking a winless drought that stretched over 1000 days. The Godolphin galloper settled near the rear of the field alongside the odds-on favourite Celebrity Queen (-142.86). However, when the sprint went on and they both let down with their finishing bursts, the six-year-old gelding packed too many punches and won by one length on the line. 2019: The Celt causes boil over in AJ Scahill Stakes Anne King and Clint Johnston-Porter have caused a massive boil over in the Group 3 AJ Scahill Stakes, as The Celt (+2500) finished right over the top of Valour Road (+800) to claim an impressive victory. The son of Planet King settle midfield on the rail and had to push out to the outside of runners, before balancing up to let down with a strong finish. It appeared that Valour Road had the race within his keeping at the 150m mark; however, The Celt was too strong late and took over in the final strides.
