Keagan de Melo riding for Kirk Swanson, and the Soar With Eagles (USA) gelding, Ezekial, achieved a hat-trick when winning the 1600m Mr 60 Handicap at Borrowdale on Sunday.

Bred in Zimbabwe by Sunmark Thoroughbreds, the four-year-old finished 3.25 clear of It’s A True Story, then came Flasher On The Run and Al Salaam. An encouraging run from The Flasher who was giving weight to the rest of the field.

Ezekial is owned by Debra Swanson and John Koumides. Congratulations to everyone concerned.
