Eagle soars to impressive debut success
The Aidan O’Brien-trained Elusive Quality colt, which cost 760,000 Guineas at the Newmarket Breeze-up Sale in April (a European record), was strongly supported in the market against favourite Gold Peregrine and triumphed in impressive style.
Always travelling strongly under Joseph O’Brien, Great White Eagle quickened into the lead with more than furlong to race and stretched clear to beat the favourite (outpaced at a crucial stage and staying on late) by two and three-quarter lengths.
