Progressive three-year-old Thread Of Gold set himself up for Group-race assignments with a commanding victory in the 12-furlong Listed Finale Stakes at the Curragh.
Successful in Premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway during the summer, the son of Ghaiyyath cruised into contention under Billy Lee and, once asked entering the final furlong, easily went away to win by three and a half lengths.
