QEII glory for Olympic

Quote:
Olympic Glory routed the opposition to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.
Richard Hannon's three-year-old burst through a narrow gap between Top Notch Tonto and Kingsbarns a furlong out and the race was over as a contest.
The supplemented Top Notch Tonto ran an unbelievable race to finish second, but Richard Hughes was able to coast home aboard the blinkered Olympic Glory (11-2) to win by three and a quarter lengths. Kingsbarns finished third.
There was a strong pace set with two pacemakers in the field, but Top Notch Tonto loomed up two furlongs out and looked to be going best of all. That was until Hughes brought Olympic Glory to the head of affairs and sealed the deal within a matter of strides.
