3yo DUKE DE SESSA wins Gr.3 Paddy Power Stakes

LOPE DE VEGA sure is a sire on fire right now. Shortly after recording his 100th Stakes win, three-year-old DUKE DE SESSA added to an amazing season by giving sire LOPE DE VEGA yet another Group win. The colt, who is trained by Dermot Weld for breeders Newtown Anner Stud knocked it out of the park at Leopardstown today with a thrilling victory in the 100k Gr.3 Paddy Power Stakes. Chris Hayes took DUKE DE SESSA through a close finish that saw the colt come out on top with a nose advantage at the post.
