LETHAL FORCE PRODUCES ITS BEST IN THE DIAMOND JUBILEE
By Racing Correspondent | 23 Jun 2013 |
Clive Cox trained Lethal Force produced the best run of its career at the Ascot to win the G1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes. The 4 year old son of Dark Angel which had finished second to Society Rock by a head in the Duke of York Stakes, a month ago. In that race Lethal Force was receiving 5lbs from the winner and now at level weights, reversed the order by a clear two lengths.
Lethal Force looked very keen at start and the rider Adam Kirby let him hit the front of the stand side’s group early. Extending the lead gradually, Lethal Force quickened well before the final furlong to draw clear by a decisive two lengths from Society Rock despite hanging left under pressure in the closing stages. Society Rock was held towards the rear after being slow into the stride and making headway under pressure 1 furlong out and finding the winner too good to catch, ran on to be second.
"He’s special, we always hoped he was, and Adam is such a brilliant rider," remarked the winning trainer Clive Cox. "He was having a blow there in front and when he sent him he was explosive. This is what it’s all about."
