Sweet William is punters’ darling again after second successive Doncaster Cup success

Sweet William is punters’ darling again after second successive Doncaster Cup success

Sweet William, the horse trained by John and Thady Gosden, won the Doncaster Cup for the second consecutive year. The horse is known for having his own ideas about racing, often starting slowly and experiencing mid-race flat spots, which require jockey Rab Havlin to intervene early on. Despite these challenges, Sweet William managed to overcome a slow start and ultimately prevailed in the Group Two contest. The victory marks the horse's 20th race in a career that has been characterized by his unique and sometimes unpredictable style of racing. The article suggests that Sweet William will return next year to attempt a hat-trick in the Doncaster Cup.
