More success for Prince Khalid - at Tipp
Shortly after Workforce's heroics at Longchamp, Prince Khalid Abdullah saw his silks carried to success in Tipperary's Group 3 Coolmore Stud Home Of Champions Concorde Stakes under Pat Smullen.
The Dermot Weld trained daughter of Dansili got to Keredari the well-backed favourite, early in the final furlong and she went on to account for that one by three parts of a length. There was ten lengths back to the third placed Air Chief Marshal
Weld said: "She is a model of consistency and I'm delighted to win a Group race with her. She is very effective on soft ground and I'll speak with Lord Grimthorpe before making plans. She could run in the Garnet Stakes at Naas in two weeks or we may look for a race in France. I think there is a lot more improvement in this filly and I'd be encouraging them to keep her in training for next year."
