Cuban too hot for St Hugh’s rivals
Listed glory for 16-1 shot at Newbury.
Cuban Mistress earned herself a deserved return to the winner’s enclosure with a front-running victory in the BetVictor St Hugh’s Stakes at Newbury. After opening her account at the second attempt at Sandown in May, Rod Millman’s filly finished second on three successive occasions, including behind Rocket Rodney in the Dragon Stakes. A stiff six furlongs at Ascot in the Princess Margaret Stakes proved beyond Cuban Mistress three weeks ago, but dropping back to the minimum distance for this Listed contest, she proved her true worth. The 16-1 shot was given a well-judged ride by Ross Coakley, who set the fractions in front before kicking for home approaching the final furlong.Listed winner!
