Belardo ran out a clear-cut winner of the Dubai Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket after Andrea Atzeni unleashed his mount with a race-winning move inside the furlong pole.
The Richard Hannon-trained Estidhkaar was the 11-8 favourite following previous Pattern-race success in the Superlative Stakes on the July Course and the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, but he faced an uphill task after a tardy start.
Belardo, a 10-1 shot after finishing only fourth behind Estidhkaar at Doncaster, was fitted with a hood for the first time by trainer Roger Varian and was well covered up by Atzeni.
He moved noticeably well heading towards the last of seven furlongs, but it briefly seemed he was caught in a pocket.
However, Belardo eventually got the gap he required and quickened up smartly to seal a comprehensive victory by two lengths.
Kodi Bear filled the runner-up spot, finishing clear of Smuggler's Cove in third, with Estidhkaar ultimately disappointing in fourth.
Atzeni said: "We've always liked him a lot.
"He was a little bit disappointing at Doncaster, maybe the ground was too quick.
"He settled a lot better than last time so that (a hood) probably helped."
Varian said: "He's a super horse and we are so delighted for him and the owner.
"I probably had him too fresh at Doncaster and he raced too fresh - he was too keen and too exuberant.
"They've gone a better gallop today and he switched off."
