The 28-1 chance Get It, trained by George Baker, just landed the Wokingham Handicap as 52-year-old jockey Seamie Heffernan edged out fast-finishing favourite More Thunder.
Rebel’s Romance won the Hardwicke Stakes to give Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby his first victory at Royal Ascot since 2022.
It was an eighth top-level Group One victory for the horse, ridden by William Buick.
“He was the horse we needed. I’m just glad to get one on the board in the end,” said Appleby.
Appleby’s 6-4 favourite Treanmor had earlier finished fifth behind Humidity and Rebel’s Romance was his last Ascot runner of the week.
Oisin Murphy got up on the line with Quai De Bethune in the Golden Gates Stakes to beat Seraph Gabriel and deliver trainer Andrew Balding a Saturday double.
Murphy’s fifth victory put him second behind the week’s leading jockey Ryan Moore.
Moore claimed his seventh triumph on 4-5 favourite Sober – trained by Willie Mullins – who is likely to head to the Melbourne Cup in November after landing the Queen Alexandra Stakes.
John and Thady Gosden were the leading trainers, with five wins, just beating Aidan O’Brien on second places.
A total of 286,541 spectators attended over the five days, an increase of 13,000 on 2024.
