O'Brien enjoys Langtry Coronation

Aidan O’Brien and Johnny Murtagh finally got off the mark for Royal Ascot 2010 as Lillie Langtry ran out an impressive winner of the Coronation Stakes.

Sent off the 7-2 favourite after finishing fifth in the Irish 1000 Guineas on her first start of the season, the three-year-old was settled on the heels of the leaders until the turn for home.

Gile Na Greine put up a bold effort from the front but Lillie Langtry wore her down inside the final two furlongs before kicking on to score by a length and quarter.

Jacqueline Quest, demoted to second after passing the post in front in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, kept on for third.
