Recent Epsom winners trainer Dermot Weld, jockey Chris Hayes and owner the Aga Khan combined for another 'classic' success today as Sumiha (11/8f) landed Cork's Group 3 Darley Munster Oaks Stakes.

The trio combined successfully in the English Oaks with Ezeliya on May 31 and with Hayes booked to ride the owner's Francis Henri Graffard-trained Candala in this Sunday's French Oaks, he today steered Sumiha to a hard-fought 1.25 lengths win over Trevaunance

Following the race Weld's son Kris reported “it was run at a good gallop and was a true test but she is a talented filly. It was lovely to win this group race and she has never run a bad race in her life. She deserved to win a race of that nature and is a lovely, kind-natured filly.

“She has had three relatively quick races now so we'll freshen her up and look to the autumn. We'll review things and come up with a few options later in the year.”
