The horse Hotazhell secured a major upset victory in the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes (Gr. 1) at Leopardstown, Ireland. Entering the race with 50-1 betting odds, the horse, trained by Jessica Harrington and ridden by jockey Shane Foley, defeated the favorites in a close finish, winning by a nose over Wimbledon Hawkeye. The 2,000-meter turf race resulted in a winning time of 2:02.53. This victory earns Hotazhell a direct qualification for the Breeders’ Cup Turf in Kentucky, USA. Following the win, it was noted that Hotazhell entered the race as a longshot after previously winning the Bavarian State Championship. While Hotazhell narrowly defeated Wimbledon Hawkeye, Constitution River took third place, and the previous favorite, Item, finished sixth.
