Richard Hannon is on record as saying that Ivawood is the stable’s most exciting juvenile and there is no reason to query his optimism following a comprehensive victory in the Group 2 Qatar Bloodstock Richmond Stakes.

Starting at 2/5 on, the Zebedee colt thrashed the opposition, easily pulling clear when Richard Hughes pressed the button. In the end he had four and a half lengths to spare over Louie De Palma, with Jungle Cat third.
