Kirk Swanson;’s charge, Road To Dubai, was going for his hat-trick in the 1300m MR 80 Handicap – and he achieved it, holding off Principled Man.
Sired by The Sheik, Road to Dubai, owned by John Koumides, was ridden by Francois Herholdt and bred by Scott Bros.
During the course of the afternoon Kirk saddled four winners, John Koumides visited the Winner’s Enclosure on five occasions, and Herholdt won again for the Swanson stable on Confabulate.
