Brilliant filly Hot And High kept her unbeaten record intact and strengthened her growing reputation with an impressive victory in the Listed Sir Ernest Lee-Steere Classic 1,400m at Ascot on Saturday, 29 November.
After an easy maiden win at Northam and a comfortable success in restricted grade at Belmont on 12 November, the three-year-old daughter of Too Darn Hot made it three from three with a dominant performance.
With jockey Lucy Fiore barely needing to urge her along, Hot And High powered clear in the home straight to win by three lengths from Ninetymilesstraight, with Sherpa Express (Blue Point) a further half-length away.
