Less than 20 hours on from landing a Grade 1 in the US, William Buick was back in the winner's enclosure after King Of Conquest proved too good in the Listed William Hill Tapster Stakes.

The Godolphin five-year-old, who had been pipped on the line when last seen in Group 3 company at Newbury, charged clear to register a first win since May last year.

Buick finished his spell at Saratoga on Saturday when leading home a stable 1-2 in the Manhattan Stakes aboard Measured Time on Belmont Stakes day. 

He told Racing TV: "The flight was seven hours and I must have slept for the whole seven, so that's not too bad. I had a great day on Saturday, it was a nice experience and incredible to be over there on a day like that. It was special.

"He [King Of Conquest] was unlucky not to win at Newbury last time, he bumped into an up-and-coming horse [Middle Earth]. You have to ask this horse but he does give it. He likes this track and stays very well."

Surprise result

Lava Stream delivered a 14-1 shock Listed win in the Weatherbys British EBF Agnes Keyser Fillies' Stakes for David O'Meara and Danny Tudhope.

The 79-rated daughter of Too Darn Hot won a Class 5 handicap on her only previous outing this season at Doncaster and showed major improvement to hold off Bolsena, rated 18lb higher, by a neck. Odds-on favourite Sea Just In Time finished sixth of the seven runners.

Tudhope said: "She was always going to improve with time and going up in trip. She's talented and we thought she was capable of getting black type."
