Supremacy proves aptly named in Richmond romp
Cox and Kirby follow up victory of Golden Horde from 12 months ago.
Supremacy lived up to his name with a dominant display in the Qatar Richmond Stakes at Goodwood. Sixth on his Windsor debut in mid-June, Clive Cox’s youngster showed the benefit of that initial experience with a facile victory at the same venue earlier this month. The Mehmas colt looked to have plenty on his plate stepping up to Group Two level, with a lofty standard set by William Haggas’ Windsor Castle and July Stakes runner-up Yazaman, but Supremacy proved more than up to the task. Ridden by Adam Kirby, the youngster was quickly away from the stalls, which allowed him to move across the track from his wide draw and grab the rail. Challengers were queuing up racing inside the final two furlongs – but the further Supremacy went the better he looked and he was good value for the winning margin of four lengths. Yazaman was under pressure some way from home, but boxed on to finish second again, just ahead of Lauded in third. Cox was landing the Richmond Stakes for the second year in succession, having struck gold with subsequent Commonwealth Cup hero Golden Horde 12 months ago.Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
