ALPHA Centauri continued her fantastic season with a dominant display in the Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket.

Having proved her victory in the Irish 1,000 Guineas was no fluke with a scintillating display in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, Jessica Harrington's star filly was the 4/9 favourite to complete a Group 1 hat-trick on the July Course.

Jockey Colm O'Donoghue kept things simple from the moment the gates opened, allowing Alpha Centauri to stride on in front against the rail.

It was clear some way from home that several of her rivals were struggling to keep up, and O'Donoghue only had to keep his mount up to her work to score comfortably by four and a half lengths.

Altyn Orda narrowly beat Clemmie to the runner-up spot, with Nyaleti a long way back in fourth.

O'Donoghue said: "She's a very special filly and I'm very lucky to ride her."

"I think she ran a very good race and I think there's still improvement in her."

"She's ice cold."
