It’s been a good week for Sir Michael Stoute. The Barbadian racehorse trainer saddled three winners, four second-placers and a third-placer from ten starters in Britain.

Other Barbadians in the winner’s enclosure internationally were trainer Saffie Joseph Jr (K’s Running Free) and jockey Keimar Trotman (Prince Louis), both in the United States.

Sir Michael landed a brace on Thursday with favourites Queen Power and Sunrise Valley to go along with a victory sealed on Monday by Solid Stone.

Sir Michael’s double came at Newmarket, where the three-year-old bay filly Sunrise Valley was sharp in victory, carving all the running to take the Class 4 Maiden Fillies Stakes over seven furlongs. (LY)
