Pitt takes it to the Max in listed Abergwaun Stakes

Sir Maximilian ran out a most impressive winner of the Listed Kilfrush Stud Abergwaun Stakes at Tipperary last night.

The Tim Pitt-trained gelding had finished a close seventh in the 32Red (Stewards’) Cup at Glorious Goodwood last weekend and had no trouble turning out quickly across the Irish Sea.

Dropping back to five furlongs on quick ground, Stevie Donohoe was always just chasing the leaders and was still a few lengths down as Abstraction hit the front a furlong out.
