Cumani out to regain prize that he once made his own

4.20 York
EBF & Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes (Listed) | 3yo+ fillies and mares | 1m4f | RUK

For readers of a certain age, the Galtres Stakes, run in memory of Sir Henry Cecil, will forever be associated with one-time Cecil assistant Luca Cumani.

Cumani plays down his record in the race and says it was “pure coincidence” that he did so well in it, and that he “just happened to have the right fillies at the time”. The statistics, however, suggest otherwise.
