Beat Surrender gives in-form Lyons tenth juvenile winner

IN-FORM Ger Lyons brought his seasonal tally to twenty-five when Beat Surrender and Kinetic Quest provided him with a double at Naas last night.

Beat Surrender, owned by the stable’s chief patron Sean Jones, made a successful debut in the opening juvenile maiden, defying odds of 20/1 to outpoint Ballydoyle representative Black Quartz and the well-touted and well-backed Kevin Prendergast-trained newcomer Famous Warrior in a tight finish.

A son of Bertolini, Beat Surrender was a tenth two-year-old winner of the season for Lyons, who commented: “As I’ve told you before, we have a nice bunch of two-year-old this season and got value for money, for a change, when we bought last year.
