Jan Brueghel stakes Leger claim with gutsy Gordon Stakes win
Aidan O’Brien’s colt is heading for Town Moor.
Jan Brueghel showed his quality to fend off Bellum Justum and maintain his unbeaten record in the John Pearce Racing Gordon Stakes. The son of Galileo went off as the 4-5 favourite and he oozed class to ease past Meydaan’s surprise early pace-setting before enduring a two-furlong battle with Andrew Balding’s Bellum Justum. Meydaan burst into a five-length lead in the early stages of the mile and a half contest, but he was usurped by Aidan O’Brien’s charge a long way from home.It wasn’t pretty but he’s still unbeaten 🥇🥇🥇
