Giant Sequoia stakes Classic claims in Futurity

Giant Sequoia produced an eyecatching performance to win the William Hill Futurity Trophy at Doncaster and in the process virtually guarantee Aidan O’Brien the trainers’ championship.

It was stablemate Sergei Diaghilev who set a brisk pace at the head of the Group One field, before the race began to take shape as they hit the two-furlong pole, with all the runners on the stands side.
