No sooner had Sir Michael Stoute created a new record by training a total of 76 winners at Royal Ascot with Prince Of Wales's Stakes victory than he took the crown further out of his rivals' reach with a 77th success.
 
This came courtesy of Expert Eye, ridden by James McDonald, who took the seven-furlong G3 Jersey Stakes impressively by four and a half lengths from Society Power. 
 
Expert Eye, a son of Acclamation, was odds-on favourite for the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
 
Stoute said: " This horse was such a good two-year-old and then things went wrong in the Dewhurst. I am just so thrilled to see him back in this sort of form. 
 
"It's very pleasing; a lot of work has gone into this horse, by James Savage, my head man, who rides him out every morning, in particular, and a lot of stalls work has been done with Gary Witheford and his son. That was his problem, going down - that's what happened in the Dewhurst; he went down on the floor when the gate opened.
 
"I was happy today but I still hadn't seen convincing homework like we did last year. But it doesn't matter now, does it?
 
"He won't be going back to the Rowley Mile [Newmarket] again, for sure.
 
"It is great for the stable [breaking the winners' record]. Aidan O'Brien goes on and names everybody, but I haven't got a brain as retentive as that, because it is great teamwork."
 
Asked which of his 77 Royal Ascot winners had been his favourite, Stoute replied: "I'd have to say the first, Etienne Gerard in the 1977 Jersey Stakes. And Gold Cup for The Queen in 2013, because she loves the race. And Shareef Dancer [winner of the King Edward VII Stakes in 1983] was very special because I was paid a lot of money for him and then things went wrong."
