Joseph O’Brien rode So You Think to wins in the Cox Plate in Australia and in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, and now he has trained State of Rest to victories in the same two Group 1 races. State of Rest gave O’Brien his first Royal Ascot training win and did the same for jockey Shane Cross, who stole the Prince of Wales on the front-end, beating four runners to the finish, including odds-on favorite Bay Bridge.  State of Rest lolled along in front taking the mildest of pressure from the Japanese horse Shahryar as Ryan Moore on Bay Bridge, favored off his strong victory last month in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown Park, bided his time in third. Perhaps he bided too long. State of Rest accelerated swiftly after rounding the final bend toward home, and by the time Moore tipped Bay Bridge out from behind Shahryar, it was too late. State of Rest held the favorite at bay and won by one length. Another 2 3/4 lengths back, Grand Glory nipped Shahryar for third. In last came Lord North, who lost all chance at the start. Lord North was fitted with a blindfold he wore into the gate, and jockey Frankie Dettori was in the process of pulling it from his head when the stall doors sprang for the race’s start. Lord North broke a distant last and never recovered. :: Royal Ascot 2022: Get PPs, previews, analysis, recaps, and more State of Rest now has scored top-level wins on three continents, having landed the Saratoga Derby Invitational last summer before his trip to Australia. "Shane gave him a marvelous ride and has only ridden a handful of races here. He grabbed the race by the scruff of the neck,” O’Brien said. State of Rest paid $17.20 in the United States and was timed in 2:07.79 for 1 1/4 miles over a good-to-firm course, the slow time, considering course conditions, a result of the tepid pace. Four-year-old State of Rest is by Starspangledbanner out of Repose, by Quiet American. The Prince of Wales is a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Win and You’re In race offering the winning connections automatic fees-paid entry into the BC Turf and travel expenses to Keeneland this fall. Meanwhile, in the first race Wednesday, it was Dramatised, not the Wesley Ward-trained Love Reigns, who dazzled in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes for 2-year-olds fillies over a straight five furlongs. Dramatised, cooly ridden by Daniel Tudhope, who notched his third winner of the meet, was given her head about a quarter-mile from the Queen Mary and produced an excellent turn of foot, catapulting to the lead and comfortably holding clear a good late bid from Maylandandsea to win by 1 3/4 lengths. It was another 1 1/4 lengths to Maria Bromwell, who won a show photo over Love Reigns.  :: Bet Royal Ascot racing on DRF Bets Love Reigns’s jockey, Irad Ortiz Jr., was given a five-day suspension for careless riding. Love Reigns was sent to the lead but lost momentum mid-race, drifting left and impeding several rivals, which led to the stewards ruling.  Karl Burke trains Dramatised, an eye-catching debut winner at Newmarket. Dramatised clocked 59.34 and paid $8 in the United States. By Showcasing out of Katie’s Diamond, by Turtle Bowl, Dramatised is cut out to sprint and could make her next start in the Lowther Stakes at York or the Prix Morny in France. In more Group 2 stakes action Wednesday, favored Eldar Edlarov won the tightest of finishes over longshot Zechariah in the 1 3/4-mile Queen’s Vase, which is restricted to 3-year-olds. David Egan rode Eldar Eldarov, a son of Dubawi, for trainer Roger Varian. The connections of Saffron Beach have Breeders’ Cup ambitions after the 4-year-old New Bay filly stormed to a 3 1/2-length victory in the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge, a one-turn mile for older fillies and mares. Jane Chappel-Hyam trains Saffron Beach, a 4-year-old daughter of New Bay who’d been fourth on March 26 in the Group 1 Dubai Turf. Favored Bashkirova finished fifth, and 2021 English 1000 Guineas winner Mother Earth was sixth. Chapple-Hyam said Saffron Beach could make her next start in the Prix Rothschild.
