Roger Teal in dreamland after unbelievable run from 50-1 chance Tip Two Win

All roads lead to the Breeders' Cup for 2,000 Guineas second Tip Two Win, who struck a blow for the smaller operators with an "unbelievable" run at 50-1 for Hungerford trainer Roger Teal.

The grey belied his odds when bustling up the big guns headed by Saxon Warrior and had plenty of high-profile names behind him as he went down by just a length and a half.

Teal admitted he had not seen that much of the performance himself but indicated that Tip Two Win may well be supplemented for the Irish 2,000 Guineas before an ambitious programme in the autumn.

Teal, who trains only 25 horses, said: "It's still sinking in as I left my binoculars in the car and couldn't see the big screen very well due to the sun. I only picked him up in the Dip when I could see his breast girth.

"It's an unbelievable run and a massive achievement for an operation like us and we'll let this sink in before making any firm plans, but he could go to Ireland. After that the owner Anne Cowley has dreams of the Breeders' Cup."

Sponsors Qipco are a Qatari operation and Tip Two Win was bringing form from that country, having won twice at Doha over the winter.

Teal added: "This is what we dreamed of since Qatar. We knew we had a decent animal. He was only 50-1 because he was trained by me. If he was trained by Mr Gosden he'd have been 5-1.

"It's a proud moment for us. I didn't pitch him in here because we wanted a day out. We came here because we've got a nice horse. I know the Doha form doesn't stack up over here but it does now.

"What a little champion. He never lets me down. This is what you dream of. I'm blessed to have a horse like him. We're in unknown territory here and it feels good. He has an amazing stride and gets to use it on better ground."

Jockey David Probert added: “That was a massive performance. Roger and the team do such a great job with the horses to get them fresh and well. He’s had plenty of time in between his runs."

There was a further head back to Craven Stakes winner Masar, the 5-2 favourite, who was third under William Buick.

Trainer Charlie Appleby said: “I’m still very pleased. Had you told me four or five weeks ago that we'd be third in the Guineas, I’d have taken that quite happily.

"William went out with the mindset that we were going to go forward with him. He gave him a lovely ride and he came in and said he ran like a horse who needed a step up in trip."

He added: “When they quickened, Will [Buick] said he got caught flat-footed a bit and when they hit the rising ground, he was galloping back towards them to the line. We'll take a strong consideration towards the Derby next. The chances are we'll give him a break and go straight there.”

Fourth was Elarqam, who may also step up in trip next time after running below expectations.

Trainer Mark Johnston said: "We came here wanting to win and so it's a little bit of a downer. I said all along I was concerned he was such an inexperienced horse. He beat the second horse three lengths last time out. Tip Two Win has had three or four runs since and Elarqam had a racecourse gallop.

"Angus Gold [owner Hamdan Al Maktoum's racing manager] said at the point of the race where he needed to find a turn of foot he didn't, he dwelt a bit. That's not the mark of a true miler.

"That may be inexperience but at the same time the first impression is he'll go further. We always thought that might be the case. The Guineas is the best trial to find out if you stay further."
