American Hope came 3rd in the Listed International stakes at Lingfield yesterday. He was ridden with patience to get the mile distance but following the withdrawal of two horses there were only three runners in the race and it made it difficult for Shane to get cover. We were happy with his run as both the track and the way the race was run did not suit. On the positive side it was his second successive Listed placing and his owners were delighted. They are shown below in the Winners' Enclosure after the race with the handsome horse.
