Aidan O'Brien hailed City Of Troy as the best two-year-old he has trained following a sensational display in the Native Trail's Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
O'Brien expressed some doubts about the soft ground in the lead up to the race but the decision to run the colt proved the right call.
Under Ryan Moore, the unbeaten juvenile set the early pace as the 8-15 favourite and the triumph looked inevitable when he surged clear of his seven rivals two furlongs from home before crossing the line three and a half lengths ahead.
