Racing News:Authorized avenged his Coral-Eclipse defeat and confirmed his early-season promise as he stole the show in the Juddmonte International Stakes.

The Vodafone Derby hero travelled with the same fluency and enthusiasm as at Epsom and much to the delight of a thrilled York crowd, he scooted clear under Frankie Dettori just ahead of the furlong pole.

King George winner Dylan Thomas gave chase but found Authorized's blistering finishing kick too much and had to settle for second spot, a length behind the well-backed 6 to 4 favourite.

Ryan Moore had stolen a march when racing solo on the stands side in the Eclipse aboard Notnowcato, but last year's winner did not fare as well this time with the main pack and was a further three lengths behind in third.

Authorized, who strolled clear over the course and distance in the Dante three months ago, is the first since Troy in 1979 to win both the Derby and International in the same year, and the first three-year-old winner since Giant's Causeway struck in 2000.

Lucarno put another spanner in the works of the St Leger betting as the John Gosden-trained colt repelled Aidan O'Brien's army to take the Ladbrokes Great Voltigeur Stakes.

O'Brien had assembled a four-strong team for the prestigious York Group Two and while they managed to fill placings two to five, the first prize slipped away by a length. Yellowstone, the 9 to 4 favourite after his victory in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood, fared best in the runner-up spot and was also slightly kept out of the race by Lucarno when making his move at the furlong marker.

n Peeping Fawn's amazing story can continue with a fourth successive Group One victory in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York today. Wins in the Pretty Polly Stakes, Irish Oaks and Nassau Stakes at Goodwood elevated Aidan O'Brien's filly to the top of the tree of her sex and generation.
