Ace two-year-old Pinatubo extended his career record to six wins from six with success from the Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
Founded by Charlie Appleby and commissioned by William Buick, the odds-on favourite (1/3) was scoring for the second time at the maximum level following a months Group One demolition job at the Vincent OBrien National Stakes at the Curragh.
Having his initial encounter on Newmarkets famous Rowley Mile, the son of Shamardal was visually less impressive on this occasion but showed a good attitude when compelled to dig deep by Aidan OBriens Arizona (14/1), who had been only third at the Curragh but got to within two spans with this occasion.
Third went into the assumed OBrien first-string Wichita (7/2) who had a very clear shot at front two around the stands rail under Ryan Moore.
Appleby said on ITV Racing:I am relieved, so we could all try and be calm and composed beforehand but once you get a horse like that… we have seen it with Enable final week, and it clearly means a lot to the general public.
Thankfully this horse has gone and done it and kept the dream alive for winter.
