 Once the race began the colt was settled in the middle of the field before taking up the running approaching the final furlong.He moved clear and in the words of "The Independent" "blew away" the opposition to win by a length and a half from the French-trained filly Sainte Marine.On his final racecourse appearance, Stravinsky was sent to the United States for the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Gulfstream Park, although O'Brien had also considered running him in the Mile.
