Tricky Tel cut for Royal Ascot target after landing 'really important win' for Hugo Palmer and Michael Owen

Tricky Tel, trained by Hugo Palmer and part-owned by Michael Owen, won a 5f handicap at Windsor by a neck under jockey David Probert, earning a place in Friday's Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at Royal Ascot as a result. The three-year-old's odds were cut from 25-1 to 16-1 for the Royal Ascot target, with Palmer confirming the win was necessary to secure a penalty required for entry into the race. Elsewhere on the card, a new British selling race post-race auction record was set when Poppy Foxy was purchased for £88,000 following her victory.
