Minnie Hauk — already the Cheshire, English and Irish Oaks heroine — lined up to complete a rare four-timer.

Garden Of Eden went forward to set the fractions, Estrange came to ask the question, but Ryan Moore, calm and composed, always had the favourite exactly where he wanted her. Swinging into the straight, she travelled like the class act she is, and when Moore said go, it was all over in a matter of strides. Three and a half lengths clear at the line, job done, history made.

Aidan O’Brien, as measured as ever afterwards, was full of praise:
“She’s beautiful, she does everything right, she cruises, she’s a lovely mover and obviously the Arc and the Breeders’ Cup Turf, all those races are there for her.

“Ryan said the (Breeders’ Cup) Turf, so she’s obviously given him an unbelievable feel. Ryan gave her a class ride, he was very cool on her. She is classy and he gave her a very confident ride.

“It wasn’t going to be a Mickey Mouse race today, they were going to go an even gallop without going crazy. Ryan has always said the stronger the tempo, the better we’re going to see.

“She’s very exciting.”
