Royal Ascot Wednesday reaction: David Ord on the win of Ombudsman

Sport is all about momentum.

Some have it, some don’t.

Charlie Appleby arrived at Royal Ascot on Tuesday looking for his first winner at the meeting since 2022.

A day later and the wait goes on.

But Godolphin are on the scoresheet. So is William Buick. Ombudsman has won the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes for a John and Thady Gosden team welcoming back their fourth winner of the week.
