Khulood stakes Classic claim with emphatic win

JOHN DUNLOP’S fine start to the new season continued at Newmarket yesterday as Khulood entered the reckoning for next month’s Sagitta 1000 Guineas with an all-the-way win in the Shadwell Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes.

Most of the talk on the racecourse in the run-up to the race concerned Khulood and the Sir Michael Stoute-trained filly, Hector's Girl.

And punters got it right as 15-8 favourite Khulood advertised her Classic claims in impressive fashion.
