Curaracha given May return date

Group One-winning sprinter La Cucaracha is likely to make her seasonal reappearance in May before heading to Royal Ascot a month later.

Barry Hills’ five-year-old was a revelation last term and after lifting the Listed Cammidge Trophy on her seasonal debut at Doncaster in April, she went on to take the Group Three Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown, the Skybet Dash and the prestigious Nunthorpe Stakes at York.
