Things we learned at Royal Ascot 2026 including Ten Bob Tony, Ombudsman and the masterful Joseph OBrien

Ten Bob Tony, trained by Ed Walker and ridden by Kieran Shoemark, claimed a shock victory in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot 2026, providing owner Simon Sadler and his TBT Racing operation with a major breakthrough at the highest level. Sadler, a hedge fund manager and owner of Blackpool FC, now has back-to-back Royal Ascot winners following Noble Champion's 25/1 triumph in the 2025 Jersey Stakes. Trainer Joseph O'Brien was also highlighted as a standout figure during the week, alongside notable performer Ombudsman.
