AIDAN O'BRIEN
Aidan O’Brien won a seventh Oaks as Forever Together powered clear under the trainer’s son Donnacha and ran away with the Investec-sponsored Group 1 at Epsom.
Settled in fourth, the Cheshire Oaks runner-up showed marked improvement to see off Godolphin challenger Wild Illusion, with Bye Bye Baby holding on for third.
Earlier 2-7 favourite Cracksman made heavy weather of winning the Group 1 Coronation Cup.
Rank outsider Salouen under Silvestre Da Sousa still led deep inside the final furlong, but after switching to the outside rail Frankie Detttori eventually got Cracksman home by a head, much to the relief of favourite backers.
