Coronation treble for St Nick.

Quote:
St Nicholas Abbey completed a historic hat-trick in terrific style as he became the first horse to win the Investec Coronation Cup at Epsom for a third time.

Aidan O'Brien's top-class six-year-old was settled well behind the pacesetters Chapter Seven and Chamonix and moved up smoothly to take the lead at the two-furlong pole in the Group One contest.

Jockey Joseph O'Brien had no worries after that as St Nicholas Abbey (30-100 favourite) quickened away and was always holding his market rival Dunaden, passing the post with three and three-quarter lengths to spare.
