Havana Grey continues brilliant Irish Champions Weekend for trainer Karl Burke in Group 1 Flying Five Stakes
Burke's sprinter made all to land the Group 1 race
HAVANA GREY held off all his rivals from start to finish to land the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh.
The three-year-old continued trainer Karl Burke's fantastic weekend after his victory with Laurens in the Matron Stakes.
Burke said: "It's what dreams are made of. If someone said at the start of the year that you'll have two Group One winners on a weekend, you'd think they were dreaming.
"As far as this horse is concerned, he deserved it, as he's been so consistent. He's turned up to every gig and he's only three as well, he's only a baby.
"There is plenty of interest in him to go to stud, so we'll have to sit down with the owners and see what we do, whether he stays in training next year or whether he's sold now."
Kingscote said: "That was pretty straightforward, he knows his job well, pinged the lids and it was a great spare ride to get.

"I've had a couple of nice rides for Karl in the past, it's unfortunate for PJ, and for Ben Curtis who was originally set to replace PJ but got injured himself, but Karl is one of my boss' best mates so that might have helped me.
"He's solid, he's travelled, he knows what he's doing and gave me a lovely ride today."
