Constitution River delivered a commanding performance to claim the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, extending his unbeaten record at ten furlongs with a three-length victory under Ryan Moore. The 8/11 favorite made it three wins from three starts this season, following his French Derby triumph five weeks ago.

Aidan O'Brien's colt swept aside his stablemates Hawk Mountain and Flushing Meadows in a Ballydoyle one-two-three finish, leaving connections thrilled with the son of Wootton Bassett. Moore suggested he's never ridden a better horse, while O'Brien praised the colt's versatility across distances.

Donnacha O'Brien's A Boy Named Susie finished second, with Hawk Mountain third, completing a clean sweep for the Ballydoyle yard. Paddy Power immediately installed the winner as 5-2 favorite for the Juddmonte International at York.

On the July Course, Tattycoram denied Tiffany again in the Lancashire Oaks, winning by four-and-a-half lengths in course-record time. Trainer Ralph Beckett confirmed plans for the Yorkshire Oaks, while Sir Mark Prescott accepted defeat gracefully for the favorite.
