Martin & McNamara win the Ebor with City Heartbreak City gave apprentice Adam McNamara the biggest success of his young career with a resounding triumph in the Betfred Ebor at York. The 5lb claimer oozed confidence on the Tony Martin-trained gelding before letting him loose inside the final two furlongs. Storming past Seamour, Heartbreak City (15-2) was soon in command and went on score by four lengths. Shrewd (12-1) stayed on well for second place with Martin's other runner Quick Jack (10-1) a head away in third. Battersea (16-1) was fourth. Martin said: "The young man on him was sheer brilliance. Two down, Lester Piggott wouldn't have been as good. It was a brilliant performance by the lad. "I spoke to Richard Fahey (McNamara's boss) and he was so good. We have to give a lot of credit to Richard Fahey. "Poor Quick Jack was slow coming out of the stalls, so credit to Oisin (Orr). He gave him a lovely ride." McNamara said: "When I turned in I was tracking Seamour and when I got to the two-furlong pole I knew I was going to win. "He travelled there brilliantly, I was scared to look around - I was looking up at the big screen but they weren't showing the race so I panicked a little bit then. When I crossed the line it was such a relief. "If I could tell you one race I wanted to win, this is it. After coming here with my family for the last three years. I was with Johnny Murtagh when Mutual Regard won it - it means so much to me, I can't explain it."
