PSYCHEDELIC FUNK (GB) (c, 2, Choisir {Aus}–Parabola {GB}, by Galileo {Ire}), who prevailed in his debut over this course and distance last time Apr. 25, asserted for an early lead in this one. Nudged along when threatened passing the quarter-mile pole, the 8-11 chalk was driven clear approaching the final furlong and ran on strongly in the closing stages to easily account for Ambiguity (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) by an impressive six lengths. “We knew we had a nice horse, and I'm delighted with that,” said trainer Ger Lyons. “He did it the hard way, he's got a great attitude and a great temperament. The [June 14 G2] Coventry [S. at Royal Ascot] is beckoning and he will go straight there.” The 13,000gns TATFOA foal and £30,000 DNPRM yearling is out of a half-sister to MSW Zietory (GB) (Zieten). Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $21,187. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
