Nelson’s admirable victory for O’Brien

AIDAN O’BRIEN made another successful raid on Newmarket’s July meeting with his academy of juvenile talent yesterday as Horatio Nelson made all to take the Weatherbys Superlative Stakes.

Sent off the 9-4 favourite, having been forecast to go off at twice those odds earlier in the day, he gave O’Brien and jockey Kieren Fallon a quick follow-up to their success with Ivan Denisovich in the July Stakes 24 hours earlier.

Fallon had the colt smartly away and grabbed the far rail so that he could dictate affairs in the Group Three event.
