Harry Herbert could hardly dare to believe his eyes as Harbinger ran away with the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in the colours of Highclere Thoroughbred Racing.
It was a proud moment for the Highclere manager - and one that reduced him to tears.
Since creating the company in 1992, Herbert has been assembling syndicates and the 12 owners of Harbinger each paid £36,000 for their share. At £180,000 as a yearling, the colt was the most expensive Herbert and brother-in-law John Warren have invested in.
