Star Gate shines with stylish success in Grade 2 Hurdle

Star Gate maintained his unbeaten record as he took a step up in class in his stride with a stylish success in the Grade 2 Ballymore Winter Novices’ Hurdle at Sandown.  The Rucker family-owned four-year-old stayed on strongly after the last to defeat his rivals by eight and a half lengths.

The May Store Sale graduate was sold for €20,000 by Mr. Sean Wickham from Woodbrook Stud to Colin Bowe / Rob James. After winning his sole start for Colin Bowe he was sold for £140,000 at the Tattersalls Cheltenham February Sale to Evan Williams.
