What happened in the Coronation Stakes last year?
Cercene dug in gamely to fight off the French 1,000 Guineas winner Zarigana, who came with a challenge but was unable to go by. This proved a landmark success for the combination of Gary Carroll and Joe Murray, who were landing their first Group 1.The 33-1 shot, who was previously third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, loved her first go on good to firm ground, which may have worked against the Francis Graffard-trained Zarigana. Cathedral ran an admirable race to finish fourth at 33-1.
