Postponed so good in Coronation Postponed continued his winning run with a stunning display in the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup at Epsom. Despite winning the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot and the Prix Foy at Longchamp last season for Luca Cumani, the five-year-old was moved across Newmarket to join Roger Varian ahead of the new campaign. He made a flying start for his new trainer at Meydan, winning the Dubai City of Gold and the Dubai Sheema Classic, and was the 8-11 favourite to make a successful return to British action. With stable companion Roseburg deployed as a pacemaker, Postponed was settled in third place for much of the mile-and-a-half journey by Andrea Atzeni. Roseburg committed for home rounding Tattenham Corner, but Postponed was moving sweetly in behind and picked up in style once given his head to seal a four-and-a-half-length success. Aidan O'Brien's top-class filly Found kept on for pressure to fill the runner-up spot, with Roseburg holding on to third. Atzeni said: "He's just a proper racehorse. You can put him anywhere in a race. He travels well, goes on any ground and quickens up. We're very lucky. He travels for fun and he quickens."
