Ghaiyyath wins the Coral-Eclipse after a masterful ride from William Buick
Ghaiyyath came out on top of a high class field in the Coral-Eclipse as William Buick delivered a masterful ride at Sandown.
Ghaiyyath inflicted a rare defeat on the brilliant Enable, taking the great mare's Coral-Eclipse crown at Sandown.
Charlie Appleby's front-runner led after the first furlong and was never headed as he added his second successive Group One following last month's success in the Coronation Cup at Newmarket.
Enable, having her first run of the campaign and absent since finishing second in last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, was held up off the pace by Frankie Dettori and could never get to the winner - eventually finishing a two-and-a-quarter-length runner-up.
Ghaiyyath and William Buick galloped on remorselessly, as they had at Newmarket, to win at 9-4 from John Gosden's even-money favourite.
