Re: Horse Racing
Lantern takes Coronation crown

Quote:
Sky Lantern defied stall 16 of 17 to run out a hugely impressive winner of the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Richard Hughes made an early decision to drop the grey filly, winner of the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on her most recent outing, in last from her outside stall and needed to pass every rival in the straight.
However, when he pressed the button the response was electric as trainer Richard Hannon got off the mark for the meeting in the best possible style. French raider Kenhope was a distant second, with Irish Guineas winner Just The Judge in third.
