ROYAL Meeting became trainer Saeed bin Suroor’s second Group 1-winning two-year-old this month, and a second for sire Invincible Spirit this weekend, when landing the Criterium International at Chantilly.

Coming straight from a debut success at Yarmouth nearly six weeks ago, the Invincible Spirit colt took the big step up to the top level in his stride with a game display to strike for Godolphin in the hands of Christophe Soumillon.
