Soviet Song hits winning note again in Sussex

SOVIET SONG proved a predictably popular winner of the Cantor Odds Sussex Stakes as she landed her second Group One contest of the month at Goodwood yesterday.

Owned by the 15,000-plus members of the Elite Racing Club, James Fanshawe’s battling filly gave them all another memorable victory as she bravely held the challenge of Nayyir inside the final few yards.

But it wasn’t just the large band of successful owners, celebrating the 200th success in Elite’s 12-year history, who were cheering as Soviet Song was returned a well-supported 3-1 chance.
