His victory made it two great days for owner breeder Cheveley Park Stud, which also enjoyed success at Newmarket on Friday in the Group One Adnams Cheveley Park Stakes with Hooray.

“You need a bit of luck and we had a good draw in 24,” said Fury’s trainer William Haggas. “He ran out the clear winner and I thought he quickly put the race to bed.

“He is a nice horse and did it well, considering that he had his first run only two weeks ago. His owner Mrs Thompson asked me before the race what I thought of him and I said that I think he could be a black-type horse.

“I have not got him entered in anything and he will probably be put away now. He will have an entry for the 2000 Guineas, but that is six months away - anything might happen by then!

“You need so much luck in maximum-field races like this and we got the luck by getting the draw on the outside. We have always like this horse - great nature and a good head on him - he might go to a higher level. We geared everything to this - there is a possibility of going for the Horris Hill but I have never liked that race so we will probably put him away.

“One of his hind limbs had a moderate trip in it when x-rayed at the sales and he was withdrawn. That is where I got lucky to get him.”

Fury, like Cheveley Park’s Hooray, is by the Irish National Stud stallion Invincible Spirit.

Mrs Patricia Thompson of Cheveley Park joked: “That is two juvenile winners in two days for us by the sire Invincible Spirit. The Irish National Stud will have to think about giving us a free nomination next spring!”

Fury, who was withdrawn from the Tattersalls October Yearling Sales Book 1, has been given a 33/1 quote by Paddy Power for next year’s 2000 Guineas.

The winning rider Kieren Fallon said: “I loved him when I rode him at Newbury but I was a bit worried about the ground today, but he has moved through it with no problem.

“It has dried out since yesterday so it is sticky and gluey now. It is a little bit like a ploughed field but you would expect that - there has been a lot of racing and a lot of horses have run down there. But he was moving through it nicely.

“It is very hard to compare that to a Group race but some horses there had very good speed figures. This fellow travelled there so well and he has a great attitude. He has done that smoothly and I think that he has a big future. I don’t think that the draw made a difference to this fellow - I think that he could have won from anywhere.”

SOUR LEAVES A SWEET TASTE IN DEFEAT

There were no sour grapes in defeat as Pisco Sour (14/1) thrilled owner Michael Kerr-Dineen when finishing a length and three-quarters second to Fury in the £500,000 Tattersalls Millions 2-Y-O Trophy to collect place money of £114,092.

The cleverly-named Lemon Drop Kid colt, successful over a mile on soft ground at Windsor last time, was doing his best work at the finish and trainer Hughie Morrison could now target Pattern company in France.

Kerr-Dineen commented: “The winner was very impressive so we are absolutely thrilled to bits. We knew he needed a mile plus and he had already won on soft. We would not have run him if the word firm had appeared at all in the going - we took our chance and he has run great.

“He’s a fantastic prospect for next year and he already wants a mile and a quarter really. Hughie was talking about a race in France for him before the end of the season. After that run today, clearly we would be disappointed if he’s not up to at least Group Three.

“Our other runner, Ryton Runner (18th), trained by John Gosden, is a horse to keep an eye on. He had no chance drawn one but he’s a Sadler’s Wells and he’s a serious horse for next year.”

Richard Hughes, rider of fourth-placed Measuring Time, said: “He ran a blinder. They were probably going a bit too fast for him, he’s a horse that will be upped in trip. He managed to get through the ground all right but not many love it like that.”
