Aidan O'Brien's US Navy Flag was named Cartier Two-Year-Old Colt of the year, while stablemates Happily (Cartier Two-Year-Old Filly) and Order Of St George (Cartier Stayer Award) were also winners at last night's annual awards ceremony in London.

All three are owned by the Coolmore team and MV Magnier, son of John, believes they have plenty to look forward to next year.

He said: "It's going to be exciting, it will definitely keep us warm during the winter. With Saxon Warrior, he was very impressive when he won the Racing Post Trophy. He is very tough and Ryan (Moore) gave him a great ride.

"US Navy Flag, look what he did this year, and Happily - her entire family kept on improving with age. We've a long winter to get through, but with Aidan and his entire team, they're in the right hands and we've a lot to look forward to."

Paul Smith, son of Coolmore's Derrick Smith, was also keen to pay tribute to five-year-old Order Of St George.

He said: "He's tough and very versatile. He's placed in an Arc over a mile and a half and is an Ascot Gold Cup winner over two miles and four furlongs and acts on any ground. It's every (owner's) dream, you want a horse like that."
