Giant Sequoia (2c Frankel - Pink Dogwood, by Camelot) bounced back to form with an impressive Group 1 win in the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday. The Ballydoyle-trained colt had comfortably struck on his second start at the Curragh in June and returned to that track to claim a maiden Group success in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes. Ridden by Dylan Browne McMonagle, Giant Sequoia was held up in rear and made headway from two furlongs out, taking up the lead in the next furlong and going readily clear to win by three lengths. In third was stablemate Noble Exhibit. Aidan O’Brien said: “He disappointed the last day, but that was when our horses were off colour. “I'm over the moon with him really, he travelled well, quickened very well and I'm delighted for everyone at home. It's a big team effort. “He's very classy, he could be anything next year. He was just under the weather the last day. We gave him time, his work has been lovely. We weren't sure about that ground, but you never know until you try. He's very classy.” He added: “We always thought he was a Classic horse, a mile or a mile and a quarter would be no problem, but he could get a mile and a half. His dam [Pink Dogwood] was very good and she stayed. “We always thought he was very good, a proper horse. I'd say he's a Guineas, Derby, French Derby horse, all those things.” On Noble Exhibit, he added: "He was a bit green, he was running around a lot. “He won making the running twice and probably didn't learn a lot. Maybe in that ground he gave him the chance to run green and he got there and ran around a bit.” Giant Sequoia was bred by Resolute Bloodstock.
