Easy win for Strategic Prince
Strategic Prince ran out a cosy winner of the Veuve Clicquot Vintage Stakes to supplement his recent victory in Newmarket's July Stakes.
Paul Cole’s juvenile was always travelling smoothly under Eddie Ahern and took up the running as the field entered the final quarter of a mile.
He found an impressive turn of foot when Ahern pushed the button and readily opened up a decisive lead.
Duke Of Marmalade, the 11-4 favourite, stayed on stoutly for Mick Kinane but never looked like overhauling the 6-1 winner, who won by a neck.
Kirklees (10-1) stuck on gamely up the straight to grab third spot, a further two lengths behind.
