Emily Upjohn dominates with tremendous Coronation Cup success

Memories of last year’s Oaks reverse consigned to the past.

Emily Upjohn cruised to victory under Frankie Dettori in the Dahlbury Coronation Cup.

Agonisingly beaten a short head in the Oaks on her last visit to Epsom 12 months ago – when her cause was compromised by a stumble on leaving the stalls – this time the filly was peerless as she left a quality field behind her.

An 11-4 chance for John and Thady Gosden, the daughter of Sea The Stars was biding her time in the early stages and only threw down a challenge in the home straight.

She then displayed a fantastic turn of foot to sweep past her rivals, and while Westover closed towards home Emily Upjohn had a comfortable length and three-quarters in hand at the line.
