EMOTIONS ran high after Sea Silk Road won the Group 3 Lester Piggott Stakes at Haydock on Saturday.

The four-year-old daughter of Sea The Stars (Cape Cross) is trained by William Haggas, and the race she won is named in honour of his later father-in-law. Haggas is married to Maureen Piggott. Not only that, but the filly was purchased by John Clarke for the Tsui family, and this win came just a little over a week after his death.
