Thundering On rallies from last to win Epsom Oaks
Summary

Thundering On, ridden by Irish champion jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle, won the Epsom Oaks after coming from last place. The 5-1 filly trained by Joseph O'Brien was at the back early in the race, but began to advance as competitors faltered on the home straight. McMonagle pushed Thundering On in the final furlong, leading to a decisive victory by three-and-three-quarter lengths. Earlier in the day, Oisin Murphy secured a narrow win aboard Seagulls Eleven in the Diomed Stakes, defeating last year's winner Persica by a nose.
