Samba - the second fastest ever in the event - won in 47.27, the fastest time in the world this year, while Benjamin - the joint-third fastest ever - ran 47.80.

"I’m very happy with that, I felt smooth and easy from the get-go," Barr said following the race.

Barr's next race will be on May 30th at the Diamond League in Stockholm.
