Merchant Navy winning the Coolmore Stud Stakes Picture: Racing and Sports

Invincible Star led the field at a good tempo, got a break at the 300m and was only overhauled right on the post for a close second after running a bold race in a most impressive eff ort by this talented filly.

Formality settled nicely just behind the leader (Invincible Star), briefly looked a threat at the 150m and then fought on well for a good third while another filly, Limestone caught the eye in running on late from last at the 800m to finish (2.3 lengths) fourth just in front of Viridine who was handy all the way before finishing (2.8 lengths) fifth.
