Ger Lyons’ hugely exciting two-year-old Lady Iman regained the winning thread with an impressive display in the HKJC World Pool Molecomb Stakes.

Having taken notable scalps in winning her first three outings, which included subsequent Royal Ascot scorer True Love and Prix Robert Papin winner Green Sense, Lady Iman surrendered her unbeaten record when bumping into Aidan O'Brien's promising looking Beautify in the six-furlong Airlie Stud Stakes.

However, back over the minimum trip, the talented daughter of first-season sire Starman proved what she was truly capable of, travelling powerfully before shooting clear at odds of 11/8 in the hands of Ryan Moore, who was stepping in for the currently suspended Colin Keane.

The winning distance was a length and a half, with Newmarket Listed winner Argentine Tango back in second and Windsor Castle Stakes runner-up Dickensian in third.

Lady Iman gains a guaranteed start in the $1 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint.

"The Breeders' Cup is where I'd like to go, but I don't own her. We won it last year with Magnum Force, and as Ryan just said, if Lady Iman gets a low draw at Del Mar, she wins it - she's proper," said Lyons.

"I went there last year, and I can promise you I never got a thrill like it. It is not all about me, I don't own this horse but, if I can dance on that dancefloor again, I'm going as that is what racing is about for me. What an end of a season. What a show they put on and to be part of it and to win it, wow. I promise you if I can get a taste of that again, I'll be there.

"I don't like taking on the older horses, but you've got to listen to the experts. Ryan says the Nunthorpe too, but I wouldn't know the Nunthorpe if it bit me on the arse. If that's what the owners want to do…we'll get her home first."

Whilst Ger Lyons was evidently happy to get his filly back to winning ways, he was quick to pay compliment to main rival Aidan O'Brien.

"Lady Iman is pretty straightforward, but I dropped the ball," he said. "I say I dropped the ball, but she was doing everything I asked of her, and it took a good horse of Aidan's [Beautify] to beat her over six furlongs the last day.

"I genuinely don't think that man has trained better than he is this year. His horses are stepping forward from race to race like I've never seen before, and that's not fluke, that's pure talent.

"He's got some cracking two-year-olds and that Queen Mary winner [True Love], which we beat, she's a proper racehorse and to see the size of her, the scope of her and the

temperament of her. I am walking into these monster's day in and day out, so it's nice to get this win."
