Air Force Blue made it a Group One hat-trick as he stormed away with the Dubai Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was sent off the 4-6 favourite after winning both the Phoenix and National Stakes this term and he made it three in a row in fine style for Ryan Moore.
Massaat was second, some three and a quarter lengths away, while Sanus Per Aquam claimed third. Emotionless, the big hope from the Godolphin stables, was never really a factor.
Moore was thoroughly impressed with the Ballydoyle colt and said: "It was a brilliant performance. I rode him Irish Guineas day and he won first time, but he was a big frame of a horse. Then he got beat in the Coventry but he still wasn't quite developed yet.
"It's the first time I've sat on him since June, cantering down you could feel he's really strengthened and developed. Probably at this stage, I'm struggling to think of any better (juvenile) I've rode. He felt like there's more to come.
"He's a big horse and is still filling that frame. I think there should be more to come over the winter, with a bit of luck."
Derrick Smith, one of the winning owners, added: "We were pretty confident - Aidan was very confident - but he still had to it."
Adventurous set the early pace, with Sanus Per Aquam settled on his heels, and it was the last-named who made the first run for home with around three furlongs still to run.
However, Moore was merely biding his time on Air Force Blue after settling in the pack in the early stages, and switched to the stands rail to challenge in unison with Emotionless.
That rival was soon in trouble, though, as Air Force Blue kicked into top gear and he soon put daylight between himself and the rest of the field, appearing to win with plenty still in hand.
O'Brien was full of praise for his charge and believes he is the best juvenile he has handled during his career.
He said: "I could not be more impressed. I was very happy after (Minding won the Fillies' Mile) on Friday and Ryan Moore came in and said he'd rode nothing like her all year, but the filly would probably only lead this horse halfway up the gallops in work.
"I would say no doubt he's the best two-year-old I've had - just the size and the scope and the way he travelled and delivered it."
"He was a baby early on and he keeps doing it time after time. Joseph (O'Brien) got off him last time and said he's ridden nothing like him.
"The ground was soft at the Curragh (in the National Stakes), but the boys made a decision to let him run. We worried about doing it but they made the decision as, if the ground came up soft as a three-year-old, we wouldn't know if he acted on it.
"I would say no doubt he's the best two-year-old I've had - just the size and the scope and the way he travelled and delivered it.
"In February he was a totally unfurnished baby, but was still head and shoulders above everything else and when they're doing that at that time of year, you could see he was going to be exceptional.
"When he got beat at Ascot he jumped out a little bit too strong, but his mind was very good and he was in a different zone. He was relaxed and I couldn't be happier with him. It's a joy when these horses come along."
Barry Hills, who retires at the end of the season, was delighted with the effort of Massaat, who was having just his third career start.
He said: "Things have not gone his way. He coughed after his first run and he missed a month through that. He ran at Leceister and probably didn't learn much there and we were up against a horse who had already won two Group Ones."
Charlie Appleby felt Emotionless, who finished last, just found the switch up to Group One level a different proposition from his previous success in the Champagne Stakes and retains full faith in his ability for next year.
He said: "William (Buick) just said it was a different pace of a race. As we have said all along, he is one for the future and he's ridden as if he's a bit weak.
"We will now put him away, as we always intended to do, and let him furnish over the winter and see where we are in the spring.
"He's a big-framed horse and hopefully he will strengthen into that frame over the winter."
