August 21, 2020 in /by

Malone Road made his eagerly-awaited comeback a winning one with a debut victory over hurdles at Kilbeggan. The highly-rated six-year-old had been sidelined for 642 days, but his return was worth the wait as Gordon Elliott’s charge enjoyed a smooth success in division two of the Hurley Family Maiden Hurdle.

Battaash is Nunthorpe king once more

August 21, 2020 in /by

Battaash continued his brilliant sprinting CV with a hard-fought victory in defence of his Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes crown at York. Charlie Hills’ speedster had to defy rain-softened ground which put hopes of bettering the course record he set last year off the agenda. He also faced an unexpectedly stern challenge from outsider Que Amoro, before […]

Minzaal oozes class in Gimcrack

Minzaal overcame a tardy start to register a taking success in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes at York.

Jim Crowley opted […]
