Constitution River went head to head with 4yo Gethin for about four strides before emphatically leaving him behind on his way to a convincing win in the G1 Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.

✅ Aidan O'Brien's Constitution River and Hawk Mountain are both set to run in Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
The master of Ballydoyle had indicated that one or the other would run, but both will now be declared after finishing one-two in the Prix du Jockey Club last time.
Paladin could be considered for races like the Saudi Cup and/or the Dubai World Cup in February and March according to Chad Brown. https://t.co/4dlAAfSLmD
Benvenuto Cellini could run in the King Edward at Royal Ascot instead of the Irish Derby if the ground is too soft at the Curragh. The rematch with Christmas Day would have to wait.
Golden Tempo will head back to Keeneland on Monday. But Cherie DeVaux says the plan is to have him back at Saratoga for the Jim Dandy and Travers Stakes this summer.

Brilliant ride from Jose Ortiz as Golden Tempo wins the Belmont Stakes. Got the jump inside of Commandment on the backstretch, forced him wide on the far turn, and never let him by.
Duplicates what Sovereignty did in the 2025 Triple Crown races on his way to Horse of the Year.
Christmas Day wins the Epsom Derby after stalking the pace set by Action on a rain soaked soft course.
Benvenuto Cellini finished 10th before being declared a non-runner.
Three past Derby winners from 12.

Constitution River wins the 2100m G1 Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby) from gate 15. With only one turn, Ryan Moore had time to find a spot to save ground before getting over. Wootton Bassett now with his third winner, including Almanzor (2016) and Camille Pissarro (2025).
🏆 LA GRANDE VICTOIRE DE 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥 DANS LE QATAR PRIX DU JOCKEY CLUB (GR.1) !
Triplé d'Aidan O'Brien avec Hawk Mountain deuxième, Montréal troisième. Donnacha O'Brien est quatrième avec A Boy Named Susie.
🏁 : 16 - 6 - 14 - 15 - 4
A Triple Crown is still alive. Lovcen gets the Classic double by winning the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) from gate 17. Incredible. Great race from Peintre Naif as well. Last two Classic doubles were Contrail & Duramente. Superb first crop for World Premiere, a staying stallion.
A photo finish 📸 in the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby)!!
Favored LOVCEN got up in the final stride to steal the victory under Kohei Matsuyama. The son of World Premiere has now won three Group 1 races. #ロヴチェン
Can he win the Japanese Triple Crown?
Lovcen, the favorite and a frontrunner, draws gate 17 in 18 horse Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby). 2400m probably wasn’t ideal to begin with. Reichsadler draws gate 1.
Perhaps 3,000 people attended the Sunday fixture last year vs a sell-out 10,000 for the Thursday night JeuXdi fixture this year. Herrnberger also wants to see jockeys and trainers give more interviews. @themorganline@idolhorsedotcom@francegalop https://t.co/eRwmOc6iXa
Sam Boswell on the Prix du Jockey Club, "The horse I will be playing each-way is Montreal. He could get an easy lead on the front end and has the stamina to push on. Although he's the lesser fancied of the Aidan O'Brien runners, he could run a massive race." @sportingsamcan
O’Brien on Hawk Mountain, “Christophe … felt he was very babyish still, he had cheekpieces on and when he got to the front he waited and wriggled around a little bit. He said to try a visor on him, that’s what we did do and we felt that it’s helped him.” https://t.co/ERhLeW1wwZ
Aidan O'Brien on Pierre Bonnard, his #2 for the Derby, “We didn’t really get serious with him until after Leopardstown last time and so far everything has gone really well with him. He’s a lot better, he’s improved a lot since Leopardstown.” https://t.co/EQaUI2SrC2
