Aidan O'Brien's Oklahoma City may have cost a whopping 675,000 guineas but he at least went a long way to repaying most of that with his victory in the £500,000 Tattersalls Millions 2YO Trophy at Newmarket.

Second in the Beresford Stakes last weekend, Oklahoma City was the form horse of the race and was sent off at 3/1 to beat 16 rivals under Joseph O'Brien, and the result never really looked in any doubt.

O'Brien senior said: "It was a good run last week over a mile (second to stablemate Geoffrey Chaucer) and he went into the race with very solid form and off a very solid run.

"He's a tough, hardy horse and loved the ground and trip. He has a lot a different entries in a lot of different races so it is very possible he will run again this year but he loves fast ground so the ground would be important for him."

Paddy Power gave the winner an opening show of 25/1 for the 2000 Guineas.
