Kolding has delivered on his potential to beat New Zealand star Te Akau Shark in a thrilling $1 million Epsom Handicap at Randwick.
Ridden by Glen Boss, Kolding held off a spirited finish from the runner-up in the famous 1600m race to win at Group One level for the first time.
Kolding's stablemate Star Of The Seas took the minor placing ahead of Gem Song.
