Reel impresses at Goodwood Aidan O'Brien's Highland Reel ran out an impressive winner of the Veuve Clicquot Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Sent off the 10-11 favourite after winning by 12 lengths at Gowran Park on his latest outing over a mile, he was dropping a furlong in trip. Mark Johnston's Pallister attempted to make all, but Joseph O'Brien's mount appeared a huge threat with two furlongs to run and the son of Galileo quickened impressively clear. Richard Hannon's Tupi stayed on nicely to claim second, two and a quarter lengths away, with Room Key third. The winning trainer said: "He was a very impressive winner of his maiden the last day and Joseph was very happy with him. He said he had a lot of speed. "This race just fell really nicely. The spacing of the race worked out just lovely. "He has a lot of speed and a lot of natural energy. "He's by Galileo and they can be classy and sharp. Joseph travelled well into the straight and then went to the line very strong."
