Fourth Group 1 For Precise As Ryan Moore Gets It Right In The Coronation

Wait 5 sec.

An interrupted preparation was a mitigating factor when Precise (Starspangledbanner) blotted her copybook in the G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, but the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine was in no mood for succumbing to outside influences as Ryan Moore got the selection right in Friday's G1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.Moore was an embedded observer in seventh as True Love (No Nay Never) found glory at HQ and was aboard that stablemate when Precise gained redemption at the Curragh last month.Precise went postward as the heavily-favoured 8-13 choice to provide Aidan O'Brien with a fourth Coronation, and 101st Royal winner, and raced in rear through the initial stages of the one-mile heat.Sent forward into third rounding the home turn, she was clear of the subsequent carnage in behind when seizing control with a quarter-mile remaining and kept on powerfully under a forceful Moore drive to hit the line with a 1 1/2-length buffer.Shadwell's TDN Rising Star Touleen (Lope De Vega) suffered most as several engaged in a barging contest when jostling for open lanes in the straight and finished strongly inside the final furlong to deny True Love by a neck for second nearing the line. It's all PRECISE to take the G1 Coronation Stakes! #RoyalAscotT: Aidan O'BrienJ: Ryan Moore pic.twitter.com/VdNzblX7l0— TDN (@theTDN) June 19, 2026 Pedigree NotesPrecise is the sixth of eight foals and leading performer from three winners out of full-sister to stakes-winning G1 Irish Derby and G1 Gold Cup runner-up Kingfisher, G3 Killavullan Stakes third Cocoon and G3 Gallinule Stakes third Finn McCool.Her Listed Ruby Stakes-winning second dam Mystical Lady (Halling), who ran third in the G3 Solonaway Stakes, is kin to a trio of black-type winners headed by G3 Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial victor and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains third Furner's Green (Dylan Thomas).The winner is a half-sister to the hitherto unraced two-year-old colt Raging Bull (Wootton Bassett) and a yearling filly by Wootton Bassett.The post Fourth Group 1 For Precise As Ryan Moore Gets It Right In The Coronation appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
