Second season sire Daylami’s encouraging start to 2004 continued with an impressive first time out victory by the David Loder trained Bull Run. Bull Run was Daylami’s most expensive first crop yearling in 2002, selling for 180,000 Guineas at the Tattersalls Houghton sale. His dam Bulaxie won the Group III Fred Darling Stakes before taking the Lupe Stakes at Goodwood. She has already produced the high class Claxon, winner of the Group II Premio Lydia Tesio as well as several other Stakes races.

Bull Run tracked the pace before taking the lead three furlongs out and quickening clear from the rest of the field. Eased down in the final furlong, he passed the post nine lengths ahead of his closest rival.

His performance earned the following comments from the Racing Post: “Bull Run had plenty to live up to on his pedigree and this debut effort suggests he is more than capable, as he won with any amount in hand… this taking grey looks to have a bright future.”
