MICHAEL O’Hagan has always been an innovator and word reaches us that the Newmarket-based bloodstock agent is supporting an initiative which saw some unique ‘trophies’ presented at Newmarket yesterday (Friday).

As advisor to racehorse owner, race sponsor and equestrian supplies businessman Malih Al Basti, Michael is often tasked with sourcing suitable prizes for major races sponsored by Al Basti Equiworld, such as yesterday’s Group 2 Rockfel Stakes and Group 2 Joel Stakes.
