Celeron bounced back in style to land the Group 2 GAIN Railway Stakes, providing an emotional victory for trainer Michael O'Callaghan, who dedicated the success to the late John "Harvey" Fleming.
A son of Mohaather, Celeron had made a striking impression when winning on debut at the Curragh last month. However, a poor draw compromised his chances in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, where he finished 15th of 25.
Back on home soil, the colt showed his true ability under Oisin Murphy, travelling strongly before quickening clear to beat Tribeca by three lengths as the 7-2 favourite.
In the aftermath, an emotional O'Callaghan paid tribute to Fleming, a member of the winning New Morning Syndicate who passed away suddenly in April.
"Harvey was a huge supporter of both me and the yard from the very beginning," said O'Callaghan. "Without him, none of this would have been possible. He stood by me through everything, and this victory is for him."
The trainer also believes Celeron has an exciting future, adding: "Oisin gave him a fantastic ride. I think we'll see the best of him when he steps up to seven furlongs or even a mile. His next run will be over seven furlongs, and he's the type of horse who could develop into a miler next spring."
