Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's Roger Varian trainee Saddadd (Pinatubo), who hit the board in September's Listed Foundation Stakes at Goodwood when last seen, found the necessary gears to claim a career high in Friday's G3 bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown.The 2-1 second favourite employed patient tactics from the outset and settled off the pace racing fourth of the five runners through halfway.Making eyecatching headway out wide in the straight, he quickened in stylish fashion to gain a narrow advantage entering the final furlong and was ridden out up the hill to defeat King Of Cities (Dubawi) by 1 3/4 lengths.The runner-up was 5 1/2 lengths clear of 15-8 favourite Almeric (Study Of Man) in third.
