Ace two-year-old Pinatubo extended his career record with victory from the Darley Dewhurst Stakes.
Trained by Charlie Appleby and commissioned by William Buick, the odds-on favourite (1/3) was scoring for the second time in the highest level following a months Group One demolition project at the Vincent OBrien National Stakes at the Curragh.
Having his initial encounter on Newmarkets famous Rowley Mile, the boy of Shamardal was visually less impressive on this occasion but showed a good attitude when forced to dig deep by Aidan OBriens Arizona (14/1), who had been just third at the Curragh but chose to within two lengths on this occasion.
Third went into the assumed OBrien first-string Wichita (7/2) who had a very clear shot at front two on the stands rail under Ryan Moore.
Appleby stated on ITV Conclusion:Im relieved, we could all try and be calm and written beforehand but when you get a horse like this… weve all seen it with Permit final week, and it definitely means a great deal to the public.
