Ihtsahymn has won back-to-back Darwin Cups

Group  One Kingston Town Classic winner Ihtsahymn has added another feather to his cap after winning back-to-back Darwin Cups on Monday.

The striking grey Ihtsahymn was given a well timed ride by jockey Peter Hall to win consecutive Darwin Cups in front of a big crowd on Monday.

Ihtsahymn jumped as the well backed favourite in betting and he did not let punters down sweeping over the top of the leader Ash Grey in the concluding stages of the race to hold off the fast finishing Paghman.
