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.
