'We're not coming for a party but because we want Sharing to take her chance'

Graham Motion has won some of the world's biggest races and has set his sights on a first Royal Ascot success with Sharing, who takes on Britain and Ireland's finest in the Coronation Stakes on Saturday.

The impressive Breeders' Cup winner will compete outside the US for the first time after her trainer seized the opportunity to send his stable star on a transatlantic mission from his base in Maryland.

Victory on British soil would be particularly sweet for Motion, who grew up in Newmarket and was inspired to pursue a career in racing while watching the likes of Sir Henry Cecil and Lester Piggott.
