Dodaa took a quiet meeting at Lingfield by surprise with a blistering performance to win the five-furlong handicap by some seven lengths.
Noel Wilson's gelding left the stalls as if jet-propelled, stealing two lengths before many had even got into stride.
Rider Ashley Hamblett got Dodaa settled and he just had to be given a nudge turning for home in the Play Golf At Lingfield Park Handicap.
While comparisons to his sire Dayjur, one of the finest sprinters in living memory, would be ridiculous the 9-2 shot lengthened away from Azygous with ease in a time well below standard.
Second-placed jockey Alan Munro reflected: "I haven't seen one go as quickly around here very often."
Hamblett himself said: "He often sits down from the gate but he hit it like an American horse today.
"That's five I've won on him this year. He's a special horse and could be winning again."
Wilson was not at the track, but added: "The only race left for him now is at Southwell next week. The going's getting a bit deep there, but I expect he'll have to go."
Joint champion jockey Seb Sanders missed the chance to lord it over his weighing room colleagues on the first day of the Flat season at Doncaster on Saturday but struck on his first ride back.
Kept away due to a whip ban, Sanders looked as sharp as ever, nipping up the rails aboard Best One (11-10 favourite) to land the lingfieldpark.co.uk Selling Stakes with conviction.
Clive Brittain had been campaigning the Saaed Manana-owned chestnut in better races of late and he attracted plenty of interest in the subsequent auction.
Racing's bargain hunter Ron Harris snapped him up for 11,600 guineas.
It can be hard to separate the wood from the trees as far as Mark Johnston's all-weather runners go, such has been the volume of late.
However, there was not a lot wrong with the way Yamal (9-4) went about his business at the first attempt in the Captain Croc Says It's Pontin's Time Maiden Stakes.
The three market principals, also including Interactive and 7-4 favourite Spin Again, drew well clear in the home straight but it was Yamal who finished best and won handily despite the official margin of a neck.
Jockey Joe Fanning reported: "He missed the kick slightly and is still green, but that was first-time-out and there's plenty of improvement in him."
It was much harder to split them in the Sand, Sea & Sun At Pontin's Handicap despite the same winning margin.
The verdict went to Steve Drowne and Ever Cheerful (15-2), trained by the in-form Andy Haynes.
Gay Kelleway was not impressed with the prize-money gained by Bridge Of Fermoy in the Go Pontin's For Great Value Holidays Claiming Stakes.
Her Danetime colt, the 15-8 favourite, collected his third victory in the grade this year and finished strongly under George Baker to score by a length and a quarter.
"He's only won a couple of grand, but the owner backed him and we're not really here for the money," said Kelleway.
"These are his races - he couldn't win a handicap last time - although George thought he wasn't quite as good around here."
Kelleway's former assistant Jo Crowley also struck on the card as Trifti (12-1) received an unstintingly positive Travis Block ride in the Pontin's Summer Holidays Are Best Apprentice Handicap.
The gelding was having his first run since moving from Charles Cyzer.
