Breton Rock delivers knockout blow Breton Rock caused a 50-1 shock in the Qatar Lennox Stakes when coming from last to first at Glorious Goodwood. Common consensus was that there had not been enough rain for the mud-lover, but no one could ever say he is anything but consistent. Limato hit the front a furlong out and looked like collecting but faded inside the final 50 yards as Breton Rock swept down the outside past a bunch of horses. Home Of The Brave was second for consecutive seasons in the Group Two, with Suedois third and Limato only fourth. David Simcock's seven-year-old was providing Andrea Atzeni with a big-race double after Expert Eye in the Vintage Stakes. Atzeni said: "I didn't expect this at all. I dropped him out last to pick up the pieces, but he picked them all up. "I felt they went quick early and then got racing a long way out, which suited me nicely - I knew I was going to win from some way out. "I thought the ground would be too quick for him." "It was a nice surprise!"
