My Cloud has secured a stunning triumph at Royal Ascot, delivering a memorable victory for owner Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa in the Royal Hunt Cup.
The Roger Varian trained 4YO, representing KHK Racing Ltd, dominated the competitive field of 30 runners over eight furlongs. Jockey Silvestre De Sousa guided My Cloud to victory in one minute 38.10 seconds, winning by three-quarter lengths from Bullet Point, with Bopedro finishing third.
Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa's involvement in racing through KHK Racing Ltd has yielded another significant success. The victory represents a notable achievement for the Bahraini royal's racing operations on the international stage.
Following the triumph, Shaikh Khalid, serving as Supreme Council for Youth and Sport first deputy chairman, General Sports Authority chairman, and Bahrain Olympic Committee president, extended congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, alongside His Majesty's representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
The Royal Hunt Cup success highlights the growing prominence of Bahraini ownership in British racing's premier fixtures.
