It gave Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien a record-extending eighth victory in the race, with another of his horses Diamond Necklace finishing in third.

Moore was appointed MBE for services to racing and British sport in June, is widely regarded as the best jockey of his generation and rode Estimate to victory in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in 2013 for Queen Elizabeth II.
