Persian Moon wins his third race of the season at Epsom

The Mark Johnston-trained Persian Moon recorded his third win for the season with a pillar to post effort at Epsom this afternoon. Facing just two rivals the 2yo son of Makfi made all under champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa to win by a length and three quarters from an expensive Roger Varian colt. This race had the added bonus of a ticket to The Derby next year and if he can stay further this could be on the cards. He is probably done for the season but heads to the Winter with big dreams very much alive.

Well done to all his connections and owners.
