And she will have to wait at least one more year to notch up another win in the King George. Saturday's win marked a fourth success in the prestigious event for Highland Reel trainer, Aidan O'Brien. The 13-8 favorite, ridden by Ryan Moore, edged out Wings of Desire into second while Dartmouth, owned by UK monarch, Queen Elizabeth, could only place third. The last time Britain's head of state owned the winner of the Group One contest named after her parents was when Aureole galloped home in 1954.
