Luxembourg crowned Coronation Cup winner

Aidan O'Brien’s Luxembourg powered home to take the Holland Cooper Coronation Cup under a canny front-running ride from Ryan Moore.

The 9-4 chance was always handily placed in the five-runner Group One, which was run at a slow pace in the early stages.

Turning for home, the five-year-old was asked to accelerate by his jockey and he was well able to do so, dashing for the line and holding off the chasing Hamish to succeed by a length as favourite Emily Upjohn was well beaten in fourth.

O’Brien said: "Ryan controlled everything and at halfway he had everyone where he wanted them. It was an incredible ride."
