The Statesman who I purchased as a horse-in-training out of Ballydoyle in October 2016 showed what a smart prospect he is with victory in a Class 3 race at Sandown on Saturday. The gelded son of Zoffany was making his first start on a fast surface and quickened up well in the final furlong and looks an exciting horse for the future.
Congratulations to his owners Randolph & Mortimer Racing and to his trainer Ian Williams.
