IRISH-bred Winston C won the Grade 1 A.P. Smithwick for Hudson River Farm, Jonathan Sheppard and jockey Tom Garner on July 25th. The hurdle attracted 12 horses, including the likes of Bedrock, last seen scalping Samcro at Down Royal. Winston C, making his second start here, rallied from last to win his fourth race over hurdles.

A three-time winner this winter, Irish-bred Winston C was sold to Ed Swyer’s Hudson River Farm after finishing fifth at Aintree in April.
