An international field for the second million-pound running of the Jubilee Stakes, celebrating the Golden, Diamond and Platinum jubilees of Queen Elizabeth II in the last 20 years of her long reign and now permanently named in her honour, the race with a wide-open look beforehand, but plenty of the most obvious contenders failed to fire and the race fell to the longest-priced scorer in its history; the key to the outcome was the pace, the field splitting into essentially 2 groups, with Art Power and Artorius slightly detatched from the near-side group, the marginally better pace in the group that raced in the centre of the track, the tempo there also a little faster than ideal, the first 2 travelling well patiently ridden, Sacred going for home first, overhauled by Khaadem under a trademark Spencer Ascot straight-course ride, a tactic which doesn't always pay the dividends it did here but which often delivers a maximum effort in a race where the leaders go faster than ideal; the winner's performance looks on a par with most recent runnings of the race, a while since it was won with a high-class effort.
