EXCELEBRATION TIME FOR O'BRIENS

Quote:
Excelebration finally enjoyed his moment of glory when romping away with the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.
Beaten five times by Frankel, the Aidan O'Brien-trained four-year-old gained his first Group One success in Britain and third in all with a superb victory in the hands of Joseph O'Brien.
Although there were worrying moments when he had to wait for the gaps to come, when they did the 10-11 shot eased up to Cityscape before powering clear to score easily by three lengths, with long-time leader Elusive Kate three and three-quarter lengths away in third.
