Laura Pearson, 25, rode Sparks Fly to victory in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom by tactically hugging the inside rail, which other jockeys had avoided for two days of racing. The win was particularly significant as it came at the same track where Pearson previously suffered a broken neck. Her strategic decision proved decisive in securing the Derby day victory.
