KHK Racing contender Adrestia finished a solid 11th yesterday from 24 runners in the Queen Mary Stakes event at Royal Ascot.
The two-year-old filly, trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, was ridden by Callum Shepherd for KHK Racing, owned by Supreme Council for Youth and Sports (SCYS) first deputy chairman, General Sports Authority chairman and Bahrain Olympic Committee president Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
Adrestia continued the fine showing of Bahraini horses on the second day of competition at Ascot Racecourse in the UK.
On Tuesday, Pledgeofallegiance took first place in the Ascots Stakes for Bahrain’s Victorious Racing, owned by His Majesty King Hamad’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs and SCYS chairman Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
