Adaay wins the 888Sport Sandy Lane Stakes with Limato just not acting not on he surface
 |
Even-money favourite Limato improved two furlongs out but Adaay did likewise and had the sharper change of gear through the final 200 yards, holding on by a ready length. New Providence was another head back in third.
Limato had twice beaten the winner during his five-race streak, but could not quite cope in this newly upgraded Group Two affair.
Hanagan said of the winner: "I'm thrilled with him. I think that is the key to riding him, drop him out and get him nice and relaxed. He has nice turn of foot.
"They have done a great job with him, he's matured as he could be a bit free. He's really grown up and has a big future. I think it all just came a bit quick for him last year.
"We'll speak to Sheikh Hamdan and see what he says."
