Smart juvenile back with Hannon after flopping in Australia

Kool Kompany, winner of the Group 2 Railway Stakes and Prix Robert Papin as a juvenile, has returned to former trainer Richard Hannon after an unsuccessful stint in Australia.

Formerly owned by Middleham Park Racing, Kool Kompany was bought by a syndicate headed by Neil Werrett, part-owner of Black Caviar, towards the end of his two-year-old season in 2014 and after initially remaining with Hannon at three, later joined Sydney’s champion trainer Chris Waller in 2015.

Having failed to make his mark at Group level in Australia, Werrett has decided to give Hannon another shot at training the now four-year-old, who also won the Group 3 Craven Stakes.
