Halford strikes with Soul at Meydan Russian Soul (15-2) came from off the pace to claim the Group Three Al Shindagha Sprint for trainer Michael Halford at Meydan. Shane Foley brought the six-year-old with a perfect run to lead a furlong and a half out and hold David Marnane's Jamesie by a length as Irish raiders grabbed the first two places in the six-furlong contest. Halford said: "It was a very good performance from a wide draw and carrying a kilo more than the others. He's as tough as nails, he improves with his racing and he is certainly going the right way. He'll run on Super Saturday and then he'll go for the Golden Shaheen."
