The Aidan O'Brien trained Surpass retained his unbeaten record when easily proving too strong for a trio of opponents in the Glenvale Stud Race at Tipperary.
In doing so, the Ryan Moore partnered juvenile was also making it two-from-two at that track, having made a winning debut at Tipperary in May.
Moore sat second on the Saxon Warrior colt, as Luke McAteer made the running on the once-raced Runninsonofagun
As the latter came under pressure early in the straight, Surpass moved up to take the lead over a furlong out. Quickly stretching clear of that rival, he only had to be pushed out hands and heels to see off newcomer Dakota Blue by three lengths.
Ryan Moore said: “He’s a nice horse and has had two nice runs here. He’s impressed me both times and hopefully he has a nice future. He’s very comfortable on that ground.”
