Trainer Joseph Murphy said the unlikely win was the culmination of his life's work and there were emotional scenes in the winner's enclosure afterwards.
But the superstar filly will need a new jockey for her intended run in the Irish Oaks after Carroll was hit with a big ban.
He has been whacked with a two-week suspension and fined £5,800 for using his whip twice above the limit of six in the mile race.

Oliver Cole hails father Paul as ‘real legend' after announcing his retirement
Perhaps best known for saddling brilliant 1991 Derby winner Generous, the 83-year-old enjoyed over 1,500 winners during a stellar career which began in Wantage in 1987, and later became British Flat champion trainer in 1991, with his son pointing out he was in competition with a 'golden era' of trainers. 'He's a hell of a legend and has done it from scratch,' said Cole. Generous claimed the 1991 Derby for Paul Cole (Jim James/PA) 'He came from a golden era of trainers and was able to hold his own amongst them and was even champion in 1991. 'In his heyday when he had all of those good horses, he was leading trainer at Royal Ascot in 1994 with four winners and he trained one of the best horses ever in Generous with the way he was destroying those fields. 'He also had some amazing two-year-olds in Dilum and Strategic Prince and horses like Culture Vulture and Mr Dinos. He had the backing of some great owners along the way who enjoyed themselves and he's a real legend.' Since 2020, the Coles have shared the licence, enjoying Royal Ascot glory with Highland Chief in 2020 and also thriving with the high-class Royal Scotsman. Trainer Paul Cole trained many big winners during his career (Julian Finney/PA) Oliver will now take over the operation at Whatcombe on a full-time basis, a privilege he puts firmly down to his father's influence and success. 'We're very lucky to be training at Whatcombe, it's an amazing facility and it's an honour to be on the licence, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here,' he added. 'It's gone very well as a pair, but now it's down to me to just keep the show on the road. He won't be going anywhere, he's a great man to work with and great for advice, we'll keep kicking. 'I'll discuss with him when things formally hand over, but I imagine it will be pretty soon.' Generous and Alan Munro winning the King George at Ascot (Adam Butler/PA) As well as claiming the Derby by five lengths under Alan Munro, the Fahd Salman-owned Generous completed the English-Irish Derby double at the Curragh and landed the King George at Ascot. In revealing his retirement plan to The Sun, Cole senior said the chestnut Generous was the 'best I trained', adding: 'I looked out at a horse this morning and just thought the time has come for me to retire. 'I've been sharing the licence with my son Oliver since 2020, and I'm just very old now. Oliver knows what he's doing and is more than capable.'

Emma Raducanu grimaces out of Eastbourne as Maya Joint defeat leaves cloud hanging over Wimbledon hopes
The 22-year-old has been suffering with a back issue in recent weeks NO CAN DO NO CAN DO Emma Raducanu grimaces out of Eastbourne as Maya Joint defeat leaves cloud hanging over Wimbledon hopes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU grimaced out of Eastbourne to leave a huge cloud hanging over her Wimbledon hopes. The British No1 and former US Open champion was smoked 4-6 6-1 7-6 by Aussie Maya Joint in their second round clash.

Raducanu, 22, has been hampered by a succession of back twinges in recent weeks. And the issue seemed to be gripping her once again as she made a series of unforced errors, especially on her weaker forehand. Mid-way through the final set, Raducanu slumped forward as she sat on her chair during the change of ends, a towel across her waist. READ MORE ON EMMA RADUCANU ARE THEY COURTING? Emma Raducanu enjoys series of cosy days out with fellow tennis ace Raducanu had cut a tearful image in her first round win over Ann Li, although she explained that was due to a 'private' matter. But as the error count soared under a blazing south coast sun, this appeared to be a significant physical issue. Raducanu stopped running on a number of points as world No53 Joint saw the chance of a major scalp. She looked across to coach Mark Petchey with a mixture of pleading and unhappiness.

She showed real character to break the increasingly nervy Joint in THREE successive games as she served for the match from 5-2 to take it to a tie-break. Emma Raducanu bursts into tears live on TV after emotional win over Ann Li But Joint, 19, found her composure in the breaker after Raducanu misjudged a drop shot, serving it out with an ace to take it 7-4 and win in two hours and 33 minutes. The question now is over what condition Raducanu will be in when she turns up at SW19 next week.

Empress date looms for unbeaten Anthelia
Rod Millman's daughter of Supremacy has proven deadly over five furlongs so far in her career and dazzled in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown last time, but having made the decision to skip Royal Ascot, connections now head to the July course for a first try at six furlongs buoyed by last week's results at the summer showpiece. 'She carried a 3lb penalty for her win at Sandown which obviously makes life a little bit harder but the form has stood up well and there was a couple of horses not beaten far at Royal Ascot last week,' said Millman. 'One horse was only beaten two lengths in the Windsor Castle (Dylan Cunha's Kamakameleon) and the other ran very close in the Queen Mary (Jane Chapple-Hyam's Eskimo Pie) and they were held behind her at Sandown, so the form stacks up well. 'She's been a very good filly for us and has trained very well since Sandown, so hopefully she can run well again. I think she will take six furlongs well and in all her races she has finished strongly. 'It was always the plan to miss Royal Ascot. Ascot is fantastic, but it is always so competitive – this is a competitive race obviously, but it wouldn't be as tough as a Queen Mary. All being well we've got a busy season planned for her if it all works out.' Anthelia's chief market rivals appear to be Richard Hughes' Windsor winner Bella Lyra and David Loughnane's Amberia who created a real impression when making all on debut at Leicester, bolting up by six lengths. The daughter of Coulsty, who cost just €2,000 as a yearling, has since been purchased by American owners Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, with Loughnane eager to see how his exciting prospect performs up at Listed level. Loughnane said: 'She's in good order and she's come on both mentally and physically since Leicester. 'It wouldn't concern me dropping back to six furlongs as she jumped and travelled and showed plenty of speed in her first start. 'Obviously it's a massive step up in grade but we hope she can go there and be competitive and if she comes home with black type that would be great.' Tim Easterby's Argentine Tango accounted for Karl Burke's subsequent Prix du Bois fourth Meelaf when they met in Beverley's Hilary Needler and heads to HQ in winning order, as does Hamilton scorer Midnight Tango who could continue the Ed Walker and Kieran Shoemark hot streak in a race the stable won with Celandine 12 months ago. Hugo Palmer's Game Striker arrives on the back of a win last time, with the Manor House handler also saddling Miss Piggle. Gemma Tutty's Awraad completes the line-up.
