Re: Horse Racing
Abbey seeking Coronation hat-trick
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
St Nicholas Abbey will bid to make history at Epsom when he attempts a third straight success in the Investec Coronation Cup.
His wins in 2011 and 2012 saw the Aidan O'Brien-trained entire join five other horses - Warrsan, Triptych, Petite Etoile, The White Knight and Pretty Polly - as a dual winner.
The most recent of those victories came with a four-and-a-half-length beating of Ed Dunlop's Red Cadeaux under Joseph O'Brien, who has also won the Dubai Sheema Classic and Breeders' Cup Turf on the money-spinning son of Montjeu.
