In an exhilarating turn of events at Newmarket, No Half Measures, a 66-1 longshot, defied all odds to win the prestigious July Cup. Under the skilled guidance of jockey Neil Callan, this remarkable horse edged past Big Mojo at the finish line, securing victory in the 145th edition of this Group One sprint.

Run To Freedom took third place, trailing by a length and three-quarters, followed by Believing in fourth, and the favorite, Notable Speech, rounding out the top five.

Reflecting on his unexpected triumph, Callan shared with ITV Racing, "The past couple of years have been challenging. Last year was particularly tough, and this year hasn't been easy either. But in horse racing, you wait for that one special horse. I approached this race with an open mind, but trainer Richard Hughes always believed in her potential, especially given her strong performances over six furlongs. This victory feels surreal."

This victory not only highlights the unpredictable nature of horse racing but also serves as a testament to the perseverance and belief of the team behind No Half Measures. The July Cup at Newmarket continues to be a stage where legends are made, and this year was no exception.
