LAHORE, June 19: Three-year-old filly, Don't Follow, continuing his winning streak registered a brilliant hat-trick landing the feature event during the day and night Lahore Summer Meeting at the Racecourse on Sunday.

The filly, piloted by M. Hanif and trained by Haji Ghulam Sarwar, beat the bay mare, Who Dares, by three lengths in a fine-running display.

She had earlier won two races consecutively on May 7 and May 21.

Jockey M. Hanif brought in a brace of winners through Desert Queen and Don't Follow.

Both the fillies are trained by Haji Ghulam Sarwar, who is having an extremely successful season during his 40-year racing career.

One favourite and two second favourites obliged the punters in a small card of five events, all decided over the sprinting distance of 1000 metres.
