Lining up for Thursday's G3 Gordon Stakes as the one potential improver, Enceladus (Sea The Stars) justified market support to continue the unstoppable momentum of Joseph O'Brien and Dylan Browne McMonagle and provide another Glorious Goodwood winner in the famed Niarchos silks.Mastering Royal Ascot's always-competitive King George V Handicap last month at the expense of the impressive subsequent scorer Al Azd, the 6-4 favourite travelled smoothly throughout and had first run on Geryon (Lope De Vega) approaching the final furlong. At the line, the homebred son of the Grade I performer Martini Glass (Kitalpha) had 1 1/4 lengths to spare over his compatriot, who was racing under a three-pound penalty, with the 1,000 Guineas third Venetian Lace (Masar) 4 1/4 lengths away in third.“He's a lovely, big, straightforward horse who's done nothing but improve with each run and is sharpening up with experience,” McMonagle said. “I think he's going to be a very nice horse going forward. He's still a big baby and when he's getting there, he's just doing enough.”“It was a straightforward race, we went nice and even all the way and he picked up good when I needed to go,” he added. “He's a lovely fluent mover, he handles that ground well and I think he's got a bit of class–he's a horse to look forward to and one to keep an eye on.”A one-two for in the Gordon Stakes Two good horses, but Enceladus remains unbeaten for the season. @JosephOBrien2 | @DylanBrowneMcM pic.twitter.com/rP8Qf8ijeQ— Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 30, 2026The post ‘He’s Got A Bit Of Class’: McMonagle Steers Enceladus To Gordon Success appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
