2000 Irish Guineas winning combination of Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes were back in the winner's enclosure today when Shamwari Lodge landed the TRI Equestrian Group 3 Stakes.
Hughes who made all aboard the odds on shot (8/15) kicked clear of his rivals under two furlongs out and kept on well for a comfortable success over Indiana Gal
A delighted Richard Hannon Jnr revealed, “That possibly wasn’t the strongest race but she took the step up well.”
“Richard [Hughes] is quite keen to have a look at the Breeders Cup Fillies & Mares race, so we’ll have to decide whether to give her an easy Summer and do that.”
“She’s a good filly with a very good pedigree. She’ll go for the Winter Forest Stakes at Ascot next and we think she’ll go close.”
“There is also a race in Turkey for her, we’re keen to go pot hunting with her.”
