Takeover Target looks set to emulate Choisir’s (another Aussie) double after he won the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday.
Here’s a story from the Sydney Morning Herald:

Aussie runners finished first, fourth and seventh in the race. Not bad for horses that had to travel half-way round the world! Oh wait, they’re Aussie horses… Can’t expect anything else really…
Edit: Forgot to add, he was a AUD1250 purchase. That’s what, USD925? He’s earned just over 1650 times his purchase price back… Now that’s a good investment!
