HAVANA SPRITE SHARES LISTED SPOILS IN LISTED EMPRESS STAKES AT NEWMARKET!
Valmont’s Havana Sprite showed both class and battling qualities to share the spoils in the Listed Empress Stakes on Newmarket’s July course.
The daughter of Havana Grey, was given a great ride by Hector Crouch, who settled her towards the rear early before challenging on the far side. She definitely got her head in front a few strides before the line but was ultimately deemed to have been joined on the post by Glorious Game. Some have since questioned whether the photograph suggests that she may have won outright but either way she is now a Black-Type winner!
Havana Spright had previously broken her maiden in style at Bath whilst winning a £20,000 GBB bonus and is turning out to be a fairytale first horse for Valmont to have placed with the yard!
