TIME 1m 24.34s (slow by 1.34s)
Jockey: Richard Hughes
Trainer: Richard Hannon
Richard Hannon went a long way to retaining his trainers' championship title with the victory of Coupe De Ville in the £500,000 Tattersalls Millions 2yo Trophy at Newmarket.
 |
The stylish success of the Clodovil colt (8-1), who quickened smartly to beat stablemate Tell Dad by a length, helped Hannon move well over £1m clear of Sir Henry Cecil, who holds a number of big chances on Qipco Champions Day at Ascot on October 15.
Mehdi attempted to make all and still led the field on the stands rail two from home, but was a further half-length back in third at the line.
Hannon, who bagged a total of £387,500 from the race, said: "Coupe De Ville had a tough race, he got badly hampered, but it just proves that if you buy the right horse, then you can win these races.
"That will be it for the season for him as he is an improving horse and I would like to save him for next year. Tell Dad was a good reserve in second."
