The horse purchased by the Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, donjuan Triumphant, sealed an emotional win at Ascot.
Three-time champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa rode the 33-1 outsider to success in the colours of King Power.
The surprise win came only hours before thousands of Leicester supporters took part in a walk to mark the first anniversary of the helicopter crash which claimed the life of Srivaddhanaprabha four others.
I wish the chairman might be here, he adored Ascot and having winners here, De Sousa said.
I hope that wherever he is he could observe this win. This means everything to receive one for King Power Racing.
Elsewhere on Champions Day, evens favorite royal acquired the Champion Stakes, a primary for trainer Aidan OBrien, who maintained a double on Saturday.
And Frankie Dettori won the 250th race of his profession at flat racings Group 1 degree when Star Catcher (7-4 favorite ) triumphed in the Champions Fillies and Mares.
Donjuan Triumphants trainer, Andrew Balding, who affirmed the horse would be retired to stud in France following the Group One race, stated:Its excellent for King Power, a first Group One winner plus this was the very first horse the Chairman ever purchased so it obtained symmetry, its lovely.
It was the very first horse we had for him personally (Srivaddhanaprabha) and hed have been so proud of him at the moment.
He was a special man with a rather generous nature and he is a enormous loss to everyone at Leicester and anyone who knew him.
Magical, thee daughter of Galileo won in 21 starts over two furlongs distance and the 1 mile for the ninth time.
OBrien also triumphed with Kew Gardens (7-2), who won the Long Distance Cup to inflict a first defeat in nearly two decades on superstar 8-13 favorite Stradivarius, ridden by Dettori.
She has a excellent attitude and she is everything you need in a race horse, jockey Donnacha OBrien said of Magical.
William Haggas-trained Addeybb (5-1) narrowly finished at second in the Champion Stakes, together with Mitsuru Hashidas Deidre (10-1) in third.
Jockey Jim Crowley rode Regal Truth into a early lead, which he kept until just under the two-furlong markers, even when Magical transferred through.
Shes a great attitude and shes everything you need at a race horse, trainer OBrien, jockey Donnachas father, said.
Shes incredible, amazing. Shes an amazing filly. Shes by Galileo, which makes her very special.
Gosden and Dettori were able to overlook the heartbreak with Stradivarius later Star Catcher edged past Delphinia to win the Champions Fllies and Mares.
