Son Of Sioux Nation Lands Listed Sprint

Shagraan (4g Sioux Nation - Annie Fior, by Finsceal Fior) became the latest stakes winner for Sioux Nation with victory in the Listed Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes on Saturday.

Michael Appleby’s consistent four-year-old travelled prominently under Kevin Stott before taking up the lead two furlongs out. The son of Sioux Nation was ridden out in the final furlong to win by two-and-a-quarter lengths.

Appleby said: “He’s done it very well, we were a bit disappointed with him last time but he missed the break. I said to Kevin today to try to push him out of the stalls and go forward with him, he’s given him a great ride.

“The stiff five furlongs suits him, he’s been a little bit disappointing this season but he’s bounced back today.

“He’s very quick, we’ll have to have a look around and see what there is for him now, but he’ll run again this season.”

Shagraan was bred by Brendan and Anthony Murphy.
