# Shergar Cup Stayers Result: Dancing In Paris Wins at 17/2

**ASCOT, 8 August** — The bet that mattered went down in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Stayers (14:10). Shrimp Shady, sent off the 11/10 favourite under Ryan Moore after being tipped everywhere from this site’s preview to Templegate’s column, was beaten into second by Dancing In Paris, a 17/2 shot ridden by Luke Ferraris, with Yutaka Take third on 10/1 chance Mountain Road.

## The Result

| Pos | Horse | Jockey | SP |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1st | Dancing In Paris | Luke Ferraris | 17/2 |
| 2nd | Shrimp Shady | Ryan Moore | 11/10 fav |
| 3rd | Mountain Road | Yutaka Take | 10/1 |

*10 ran. Distance: 1m 7f 209y. Going: good to firm.*

## The Race Story

Two miles around Ascot is a searching test in a handicap where the international riders are on unfamiliar horses, and Ferraris — one race after compatriot-in-format Jerry Chau took the [Dash on Tuco Salamanca](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/08/shergar-cup-dash-result-tuco-salamanca/) — timed it best of the ten. Moore’s mount had been crunched from 7/4 in the morning to 11/10 at the off, the kind of move that usually means the money knows; this time the money was wrong, and Shrimp Shady’s supporters spent the last furlong watching a 17/2 shot prove the stronger stayer.

Take, 56 years old and still the crowd’s favourite Shergar Cup import, picked up minor honours on Mountain Road to get on the leaderboard early.

## Tipster Accountability

This was the first tracked ledger bet of the day to settle, and it settled red. **Templegate’s next best, Shrimp Shady at 7/4, is a loser** — one unit off the bank that Master Vintner built on Friday, taking him from 11.0 to a provisional 10.0 units pending the full settling in Sunday’s ledger. It stings twice over because [yesterday’s review](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/08/templegate-nap-tokyo-joe-review/) noted his supporting bets, not his headliners, were carrying the operation. Richard Gore fares no better: his verdict — *“SHRIMP SHADY… looks the banker of the day”* — was the same beaten favourite. Templegate’s NAP Night Breeze (14:45) and treble leg Hoseki (15:55) now carry the day.

## Looking Ahead

The 15:20 Sprint is next for accountability purposes: the preview’s pick is Thunder Call — *“a dream British debut awaits Jerry Chau”* — and after the Dash, nobody is laughing at that line. Then comes the 15:55 Classic, where Gore’s Archers Bay meets Templegate’s treble leg Hoseki head-on.
