Charlie Appleby has enjoyed a stellar season by winning 17 Group and Grade One races in 2021, including the Derby, St Leger, and three Breeders’ Cup races at Del Mar on the weekend.
Appleby now has his sights set on Bahrain with the Newmarket trainer set to saddle two leading contenders in next week’s £500,000 Group Three Bahrain International Trophy.
Four-time Group 1 winner Barney Roy and recent runaway Listed winner Zakouski will represent Appleby in the 1m 2f contest run at Sakhir Racecourse in Bahrain on Friday 19th November 2021.
