Pat Cosgrave continued his successful association with Swedish superstar Square De Luynes as he took on Hollie Doyle and Outbox in the Stockholm Cup International at Bro Park on Sunday.
The victory was Square De Luynes’ third consecutive triumph in 1m4f Group 3 – one of the highlights of the Swedish racing calendar – with Cosgrave on board for the final two after Rab Havlin teamed up with the six-man. years coached by Niels Petersen in 2019.
Doyle had taken the lead over leader Sublissimo on the outbox coached by Archie Watson, but Square De Luynes soon loomed in front of her outside the tight corner at home, and Hambleton Racing’s son Frankel couldn’t not live with his rival in the straight line.
They had to settle for second place, with David Egan and the Red Verdon coached by Ed Dunlop taking fifth place.
Square De Luynes has now won six Group 3 races and Cosgrave is eager to travel and test it against the best.
He said: “He’s a star. He’s pretty fragile and we only see him two or three times a year, but when he does he is pretty good. I had a good clean pass and when I got him asked to go to the top of the straight, it was over very quickly.

“I’m just lucky to ride him – he’s a great horse and I hope we can take him overseas somewhere to see how good he is. I’m just leading him and that’s it was up to Niels to decide but he did all he could in this part of the world and I’m sure if he went he would make a big impression. “
Cosgrave had come terribly close to a second win earlier on the map riding the Petersen-coached Ramone in the Listed Lanwades Stud Stakes and the pair were in pole position 100 yards before being caught by Victoria Placa.
Five UK coaches sent reps to Bro Park, but they were unlucky, with Ambassador Jane Chapple-Hyam’s matching outbox with a second place in the Listed Tattersalls Nickes Minneslopning.
