THE recent good run of Ballyash Stud’s resident stallion September Storm continued on Wednesday at Perth where the Lucinda Russell-trained Wind Of Hope won the opening maiden hurdle on his racecourse debut.

The six-year-old, who was bred at Ballyash by Gail Kidd out of the Topanoora mare Ciara’s Run, failed to win between the flags here but landed a maiden at Chaddesley Corbett last month for bloodstock agent Tom Malone.
