More Than Ready's Lusaha Claims Sir Ernest Lee-Steere Classic

Mark Smith - Saturday December 3

Champion Sydney jockey Hugh Bowman rode his first winner at Ascot when guiding the Dan Morton-trained Lusaha to victory in Saturday's Listed Sir Ernest Lee-Steere Classic (1400m).

It was the first stakes win for the 3yo gelded son of More Than Ready (USA).

Punters had it down to a two horse race and that's the way it turned out with the $ 2.75 second favourite defeating the $2.38 favourite Caipirinha (Nicconi) by a half-length with Precious Memories (Stratum) the same distance back in third.

A homebred for Mt Hallowell Stud, Lusaha advances his overall record to 3 wins and 2 thirds from 9 starts with earnings of $160,400.

He is the third foal of the Commands mare Rose Of Hallowell a sister to Golden Rose Stakes winner Court Command.

Rose Of Hallowell has a 2yo Starcraft filly named Miss Aubrey but has not been covered for the past two seasons.
