Although having won several thousand races in England, the Hannons still retain enormous enthusiasm for any win.

He is the son of the King of Bahrain and widely acknowledged as an accomplished sportsman in many disciplines. His colours were carried to victory twice at Royal Ascot last year and he now has twenty horses in training in England, including CONCESSIONS, bought by Oliver St Lawrence for 125,000 Guineas at Tattersalls Book 2 last year.
