MORRISON STAR SOLD TO DUBAI

Royal Ascot winner Pisco Sour has been sold to race in Dubai, trainer Hughie Morrison revealed on his website.

The three-year-old, winner of the Tercentenary Stakes at the big meeting, was also third in the Dante Stakes and ninth in the Investec Derby.

He was last seen winning the Group Two Prix Eugene Adam at Deauville last month.

Morrison said: "Pisco Sour has been sold to go to Dubai - obviously he has been an absolute star for us and he will leave a big gap in the yard for all of us that have been involved with him, having won at Royal Ascot and followed up with a Group Two win in France.

"As a very progressive horse we had high hopes of him following up at Deauville in the Prix Guillame D'Ornano, but sadly the new owners did not want to run him.

"It was interesting to note that Colombian, who we beat so convincingly last time, has been declared to run.

"We wish the horse well in the future and expect to see him winning major races in Dubai this winter."
