The immaculately bred 5-year-old settled in fourth position leaving the stretch as longshot Dr. Edgar (Lookin At Lucky) set only a moderate pace in advance of GISW Glorious Empire (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), who was content to stalk from second despite his penchant to lead in his races. Favored Catholic Boy (More Than Ready) was purposely kept in the clear from third down the backstretch. Dr. Edgar galloped them along at an even clip, going by the three-furlong pole in 1:12.02, but Lucullan was beginning to warm up to the task as he circled five wide into the lane.

The son of Showcasing (GB) appears the type of stallion Foley has been so successful in managing over the years and he arguably has even more commercial appeal than the likes of Captain Rio (GB) and Dandy Man (Ire) when they started off, albeit that is reflected in his opening fee of i10,000.
