Hotazhell wins Futurity Trophy

Hotazhell, trained by Jessica Harrington and ridden by Shane Foley, claimed victory in the William Hill Futurity Trophy Stakes at Doncaster, edging out Aidan O'Brien's Delacroix by a nose. This win marks the final Group One of the British Flat racing season and is Harrington's first Flat winner at the racecourse. Harrington praised Hotazhell's toughness and battling spirit, noting that he thrives in competitive situations. The colt, a son of 2018's top European juvenile Too Darn Hot, is now considered a contender for next year's 2,000 Guineas. Meanwhile, Irish trainers showcased their dominance at Cheltenham's Showcase meeting, winning the first four races. Harrington expressed excitement over Hotazhell's future, indicating plans for both the Irish and English Guineas.
