Lord Mayors Cup (LR)
Ecuador flew the gates from barrier five and sped straight to the front. He maintained his position down the back, past the 1200m and was going along smoothly. With a half length lead around the bend, the field seemed content to leave him alone so his rider, Adam Hyeronimus gave him shake and at the top of the straight had more than a length advantage. Into the last 300m they broke clear and passing the 200m had the field in trouble and so it proved and they had stolen the race to score clearly. Lady Le Fay was wide and worse than midfield down the back. She was widest turning in and once balanced ran on best of the rest yet the break established by the winner was too great. Havana Cooler was last most of the way and into the straight. His rider prayed for a run through the middle and they finished on well but the race was over.
