Cornation stakes at Royal Ascot 2002.. yeah she came from a mile back... I think Kinane got checked for a run a few times, then had to go right to the outside and she literally flew home....here is the racingpost comments of the race for the winner!

Sophisticat, three times no match for Queen's Logic last year, should be rated a clear winner as she was taken up a blind alley inside the final 2f before switching sharply widest midtrack and having 4l to make up on her French Guineas conqueror Zenda in under a furlong. The impression was she would have won by a couple at least with an uninterrupted run. The fast ground brought a major improvement as her previous form had hinted.
