What happened in the Wolferton Stakes last year?
Haatem struck for Wathnan Racing in the Wolferton Stakes. The Richard Hannon-trained colt recorded back-to-back wins at Royal Ascot, having landed the Jersey Stakes the previous year. Haatem was one of four runners in the race for Wathnan Racing, with the 4-1 favourite King’s Gambit also sporting their colours in third. It was Haatem’s first run at the 1m2f trip and second victory in the race in the past six years for his rider James Doyle, who rode Mountain Angel to success in 2020.
