Victorious wins at Royal Ascot, becoming the first one-eyed horse to take a race there in nearly 20 years, according to reports. The filly, trained by Aidan O’Brien, has been without sight in her left eye since early life. Coverage describes her as a daughter of Wootton Bassett and highlights that she is viewed as matching the achievements of the earlier race mare Barshiba.
The articles also note wider Royal Ascot context around O’Brien’s campaign. O’Brien is discussed as targeting a landmark 100th Royal Ascot success, with mention of a related incident involving Gareth Southgate.
Across the sources, the central points are Victorious’s win, the rarity of her “one-eyed” status at Royal Ascot, and her training connection to Aidan O’Brien. The reporting frames the result as a significant achievement within the meeting’s ongoing storyline, without adding further detail beyond the horse’s background and the referenced comparisons.
