Roberto Escobarr rules for Haggas in Henry II Stakes
Return to the winner’s enclosure for tough six-year-old.
Roberto Escobarr gained his first success since June 2021 when making all the running to win the Racehorse Lotto Henry II Stakes at Sandown. Trained by William Haggas, the son of Galileo is now six but in his younger days looked destined to be winning races like this Group Two event when taking a Listed contest at York on just his fifth ever outing. He only made it to the track once in 2022 and was returning from 399 days off when third at Wolverhampton in March.Tough as nails 👊
