SOCIAL media pictures caught Derek and Gay Veitch admiring the winner of the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup at the weekend, and no wonder.

Minzaal had finally done what he has promised to do since he was a juvenile, and win at the top table. The four-year-old son of Mehmas (Acclamation) was bred by the couple at their Ringfort Stud, and they sold him as a foal for 85,000gns, before he was resold from Glenvale Stud the following October to Shadwell Estate for 140,000gns.
