Green Impact backed up the promise of his previous victory over Delacroix to scoop the KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown.
Jessica Harrington’s son of Wootton Bassett is the first colt to be bred by owner Marc Chan and after a narrow defeat at the Curragh on debut, accounted for Aidan O’Brien’s Delacroix on his second start.
With only four heading to post for the Group Two event, it was O’Brien’s Bernard Shaw who led the quartet along with Green Impact settled in second. He was asked to win his race entering the straight by Shane Foley, working his way past the Ballydoyle inmate and then showing a game attitude to confirm superiority over the fast-finishing Delacroix, who was sent off the 5-6 favourite.
Green Impact finished half a length clear at odds of 5-2 and with a bright future ahead, was cut to 10-1 from 14s for Doncaster’s Futurity Stakes next month, with Coral going 33-1 for next year’s 2000 Guineas.
