First winner for Bangkok rises to the challenge

Bangkok celebrated his first winner today with Rising Empire landing the valuable Juddmonte EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes over 6f at Windsor.

Rising Empire was following up his promising debut at the end of April for trainer Andrew Balding.  He was Bangkok's first foal, first runner and now his first winner, and there looks to be plenty to come from this talented two-year-old.

Congratulations to owner/breeders Simon and Rhian Davies of Dahlbury, who also own Bangkok, and joint owner Michael Blencowe. He is out of the 5f winning sprinter Money Tree (Profitable) from the family of Gr.1 winners Sasuru, Rose Gypsy and Crystal Ocean, and Group winners/performers Sally Rous, Quick, Starbright, Tuscan Evening and Barbican
