romp home
Cruise to victory
To romp home is to win decisively and with apparent ease, especially in a race or competition.
The phrase evokes a horse finishing so far ahead it seems to be playing rather than striving: The favorite romped home by twelve lengths.
It extends to any comfortable victory: She romped home in the election.
