The Lion In Winter record

He didn't appear to be the fancied horse from the Aidan O'Brien yard on debut but that did not stop him from landing his maiden in impressive style under Wayne Lordan.

Ryan Moore rode Ides Of March that day, but Moore was on board in the Acomb Stakes at York.

Sent off 2/1 second-favourite, The Lion In Winter readily shot clear of the field to land Group 3 honours.

Making his seasonal return, the son of Sea The Stars suffered his first career defeat as he was left trailing six lengths behind Pride Of Arras in the Dante Stakes.
