Cav Okay went into every notebook for the Royal Ascot meet with an explosive debut performance. Out of the traps like lightning, the 3-1 pick took instant command and increased his advantage throughout, dipping under the wire an impressive five lengths ahead of See In The Dark (Ire) (Night Shift). "I've never known one to leave the gate like him," enthused handler Richard Hannon. "He flies out--I told [jockey] Richard [Hughes] to watch it or he might leave you behind. He's done everything right at home and it'll take a good one to lower him this year." The colt was a Eu22,000 GOFNOV weanling and Eu35,000 GOFORB yearling. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, 5,829.
