Hellbent Hong Kong Double

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Jul 2

Yarraman Park’s Hellbent has had a breakout season in many ways in terms of earnings and stakes-winners with part of that success coming in Hong Kong and a double at Sha Tin on Wednesday added to his merit.

The Michael Chang trained four year-old Straight to Glory landed his fourth win from 17 starts when charging between horses to snatch a neck win in the 1000m Class 3 sprint.

Straight to Glory was bred by Yarraman Park and sold through the Rushton Park draft at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale for $36,000 to The Kiwi Bloodstock Group & TJB / Caple Equine.

He is the fourth winner from five foals to race from Witless, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to Golden Slipper winner Crystal Lily from the family of triple Group I winner Zougotcha.

The Jamie Richards trained four year-old Lahore scored a head win in the 1000m Class 4 sprint and has now won two of 12 starts.

Lahore was a $310,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Milburn Creek for Jamie Richards Racing / Andrew Williams Bloodstock and is the best of two winners from Angasi, a winning half-sister by Street Boss (USA) to Group II winner Shoreham.
