Rashabar is set to target the Prix Morny

Coventry Stakes winner Rashabar is set to target the Prix Morny following his unexpected victory at Royal Ascot, bringing pride to Sam Sangster as the famous Sangster silks made a triumphant return to the winner's enclosure.

The son of Holy Roman Emperor, trained by Brian Meehan, defied odds of 80-1 to secure the win in the prestigious race. Despite being a maiden and facing long odds, connections remained confident in Rashabar's abilities. The surprise victory was a special moment for Sangster, who manages Manton Thoroughbreds and cherishes the legacy of his late father, Robert Sangster, whose silks have seen success with legendary horses over the years.

The win at Royal Ascot brought a mix of surprise and pride for Sangster, as the Sangster name once again shone brightly in the racing world. The support and recognition from the racing community and beyond were heart-warming for Sangster, who sees the significance of the green and blue silks in the sport.

Jockey Billy Loughnane, wearing the iconic Sangster silks, also marked his own milestone at Royal Ascot, adding to the special day for the Sangster family. Looking ahead, Rashabar is eyeing the Prix Morny on August 18, where he could continue Meehan's success in the race. Sangster envisions a bright future for both Rashabar and Loughnane, highlighting the potential for further achievements in the racing world. The Prix Morny presents an exciting opportunity for Rashabar to showcase his talents and potentially make a mark as a stallion in the future.
