An unbeaten colt by a champion sire won the Group I Newmarket The Two Thousand Guineas (1m) overnight, but it wasn’t the one most people thought.

The winner of both of his starts at two, Mosheen’s son Danon Ayers Rock (JPN) lost his unbeaten record when finishing midfield in his seasonal debut in the Group II Deep Impact Kinen at Nakayama on March 3 before returning to the winner’s circle in Saturday’s Listed Principal Stakes (2000m) at Tokyo.
