# Maho Bay Dominates Winter Hill Stakes Result At Windsor

According to the official result at Windsor on Monday, **Maho Bay** claimed the Winter Hill Stakes result under William Buick. The Charlie Appleby-trained gelding’s decisive display in the Group 3 race marked a commanding performance across the 1m2f trip.

**Maho Bay** returned at the odds of 5/2 and prevailed by 2.5 lengths from **Venetian Prince**, the 66/1 shot trained by Andrew Balding. The winning time of 2m 6.31s on good ground demonstrated the quality of the contest, with **Maho Bay**‘s performance rating of 107 matched by the runner-up despite the decisive winning margin.

The Winter Hill Stakes result caps a strong afternoon at Windsor for top-class three-year-old form. **Without Prejudice**, the 1/4 favourite trained by John & Thady Gosden, justified odds in the G J Colairo Diamond Fillies’ Novice, with William Buick again in the saddle for a 1m2f victory over **Aura Champagne** by 3.25 lengths. **Polyxena**, at 8/1 from Stuart Williams’ yard and ridden by Marco Ghiani, claimed the Hamish Johnson Memorial Fillies’ Restricted Novice over **Romotoso**, the William Knight runner sent off as 6/4 favourite.

Earlier on the card, **Wopbopaloomop** struck at 8/1 in the Nursery Handicap under Saffie Osborne for Richard Spencer, while **Luzon Heights** won the Follow Matchbook Handicap at 3/1, with Marco Ghiani again partnering the William Knight-trained winner.
