A runner at Ipswich on Wednesday caught the eye of viewers although he wasn’t because of his race track ability.

Hagia Sophia was well beaten in his race however his unique colour was what had punters and fans talking.

Hagia Sophia is by Painting Freedom out of Pretzel and will be standing at a boutique stud ‘Winning Colours Farm’ upon retirement which from his first up run may not be far away.
