Isle of Jura wins Bahrain Triple Crown

Isle of Jura has shown how happy he is in Bahrain by winning the Triple Crown.

His win in the King Hamid bin Isa Al Khalifa Cup on Friday followed his wins in the Al Khalifa Cup and the Crown Prince's Cup, each race going up 200m in distance.

Trainer George Scott and Jockey Callum Ferguson were over the moon with the win.

Also on the winning route at Meydan on Friday Zabeel Stables had an awesome time with Bhupat Seemar saddling the winner of 5 of the 8 races on the card.  And there was the odd second and third around too!

There was a large quotient of South American runners mixed amongst the locals amd while the Uruguayans Ajuste Fiscal and El Patriota didn't make the frame they were not that far away from the winner finishing 4th and 5th in the Downtown Dubai.
