Jadoomi wore down stablemate Finest Sound in the dying strides to win the William Hill Celebration Mile at Goodwood.
Simon and Ed Crisford knew they'd won the Group Two contest throughout the final furlong although for much of it the front-running Finest Sound looked set to hold on.
However William Buick, riding the third leg of a five-timer, conjured one final effort from the 10/3 favourite who was in front where it mattered for a neck success.
Escobar came through for third with even-money favourite Mutasaabeq never a factor in fourth.

“I’m absolutely delighted – couldn’t be happier. Both of them ran a huge race,” said Ed Crisford. “Jadoomi loved that ground and stayed well. Finest Sound has run an absolute blinder and I thought he’d nicked it to be honest, but Jadoomi just outstayed him at the very end on that ground.”
Considering future plans, the trainer added: “Finest Sound has had quite a few races in quick succession, so we’ll see for him.
“With Jadoomi you’ve got races like the Prix Dollar on Arc weekend at ParisLongchamp and he’s also in the Boomerang Stakes at Leopardstown, so I think we’ll just see how he is and go from there. He does like this softer ground, so I think we’ll follow the rain really.”
