Frankie Dettori moved on to 2,999 British winners when Ghayyar claimed victory at Newmarket on Friday evening.
The Richard Hannon-trained juvenile (100-30) left the popular Italian on the brink of achieving the notable landmark after he defeated Glencadam Glory by three-quarters of a length in the NGK Spark Plugs EBF Stallions Maiden over a mile.
Dettori made virtually all of the running aboard the son of Power, and though the runner-up was a huge eyecatcher, the successful rider had done enough to keep the 2-1 favourite at bay.
Ghayyar, who stepped up considerably on his first start at Goodwood last month, could also be a name to follow as the mighty Frankel won this race on his debut in 2010.
Dettori said: "He's improved a lot for his first start and the mile suited him better than the seven furlongs at Goodwood.
"It was a stop-start race, but when he quickened up, he put the race to bed well."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
