Kind Of Blue digs deep for Sprint success
Third strike for trainer James Fanshawe in Ascot Group One.
Kind Of Blue upheld the family honour when coming out on top in the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot.
James Fanshawe’s colt is related to two winners of the race in Deacon Blues and The Tin Man, both trained from the same stable as him.
A 10-1 shot under James Doyle, the bay was running for the first time for new owners Wathnan Racing and duly delivered with an impressive success from Karl Burke’s Swingalong.
Kind Of Blue made smooth progress to take the lead but had to dig deep for a head success, with Flora Of Bermuda a further neck away in third.
