It's Hannon again!
TRAINER Richard Hannon completed a clean sweep of the two-year-old Group races at the Champagne Lanson July Festival as King Torus took the 32Red.com Superlative.
Hannon took the opening-day Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Cherry Hinton Stakes with Memory and followed up in yesterday’s TNT July Stakes with Libranno.
He completed the hat-trick in this afternoon’s seven-furlong Group 2 as King Torus edged out Ecliptic by a neck.
The 7/2 winner and the runner-up, who hung markedly right, are both now 33/1 for next year’s 2000 Guineas.
Earlier on, Sea Lord raced to a hard-fought victory by a neck from First Cat in the opening 32Red Casino Handicap.
