Azamour stormed to victory in a thrilling Baileys Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown today. Just as pleased was winning owner the Aga Khan, who watched the race from an unusual vantage point. He was in the air, his helicopter having been delayed in landing by air traffic control restrictions. When the Aga Khan did finally touch down, he was greeted by a round of applause as he raced across from the centre of the course to join the celebrations in the winner's enclosure.

As he backpedalled, hopes of a famous Godolphin double following Rule Of Law's St Leger triumph disappeared.
