Pharoah's Advocate Skims Through Breeders' Mile at Ngong ¶

On a day filled with exciting racing action at Ngong, Pharoah's Advocate, ridden by Richard Kibet, emerged victorious in the Breeders' Mile, held on July 7, 2019.

The Galloping Geriatrics' owned horse, trained by Patsy Sercombe, showcased its former spirit, outpacing Fast Five and Clothes Horse to take the top spot.

Meanwhile, in the Turkwel George Handicap, Piece of Cake and Tainted Love caused a stir by dead-heating, leaving spectators on the edge of their seats.

The Jockey Club honored the late Micky and Paddy with Trophy features, with Go Pro stealing the Paddy Migdoll Sprint and Forewarned brushing aside stable companion Ione to win the Micky Migdoll Mile.

Here are the results from the day's racing:
