ASCOT, England, June 18 : Aidan O'Brien's star stayer Scandinavia chased down last year's winner Trawlerman in the dying stages to claim the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, flat racing's most prestigious festival. A gruelling stamina test stretching two miles and four furlongs, Royal Ascot's oldest race attracts the sport's best stayers and its roll of honour lists some of the ⁠greats including Yeats, who won an unprecedented four Gold Cups.Trawlerman 5/2Scandinavia 5/2Caballo de Mar 11/2
