Exciting Irish Group Three Winner for Choisir
Lightly raced colt Alexios Komnenos (3c Choisir x Alexiade, by Montjeu) has come back from a serious illness to claim a deserved win in the Group III Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown in Ireland for owners who include Australian bloodstock investor Neil Werrett.
Prepared by Fozzy Stack, Alexios Komnenos was an easy debut winner last year at the Curragh before finishing second beaten a neck to subsequent Group I winner Churchill in the Group III Leopardstown Tyros Stakes.
Sidelined with injury after that run, he returned with a third in a Listed race at the Curragh last month and showed he was right back to his best with this powerful win.
