Very impressive performance, searing burst of speed 2f out to spreadeagle field, looks a very fast 3yo.
If you would like to see the race, go to www.racingpost.co.uk (http://www.racingpost.co.uk) (sign up for free a/c if you need to), go to results, newmarket 3.15, and watch race in full.
The horse himself is very quirky (refused to go to the winning enclosure today) but fast as lightning.
As a short note, and reading between the lines, Aidan O'Brien rates this horse as the best he's trained and Kieran Fallon says "I've never ridden anything like him" - he's the rider of Hurricane Run btw. Just so you know how early they knew this horse was the one, I was told last April (before his debut) by my Ballydoyle contact that GW would win the 2000 Guineas. A couple of weeks later I watched him finish 3rd on his racecourse debut - and dismissed that idea out of hand. Since then he's unbeaten including 3 G1s - didn't Secretariat get beaten on his debut too... ;)
