The Nathan Doyle-trained Hellova Nature handed Hellbent his third winner of the weekend, with the 2-year-old colt scoring at Hawkesbury on Sunday. Hellova Nature’s victory comes a day after Liangelo saluted at Newcastle and Blue Spinel was first home at Rockhampton.

Hellbent, who resides alongside Australia’s Champion Sire I Am Invincible at Yarraman Park Stud, has had a tremendous 2022/23 campaign. He sits second behind Russian Revolution on the Season Sires’ table, with 51 winners that have combined for 50 wins. Among them are two stakes winners - Magic Time and Kristilli - and they have tallied three stakes wins.

For these reasons, it came as no surprise that Hellbent’s fee would rise to $38,500 (inc GST), up from $22,000 (inc GST), for the coming spring.

Hellova Nature hails from his sire’s second crop and is Hellbent’s 11th individual juvenile winner of the season.

Bred by Mark Leonard, the colt was purchased for $45,000 by Calibre Racing Group - a relatively new syndication company, in partnership with Nathan Doyle Racing, from the Widden Stud draft at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast National Yearling Sale. Calibre Racing Group was founded in 2021 by long-time friends, Josh Barrett and Lachlan Halloran-Gould, who have successfully invested in racehorses over the past 15 years.

Barrett, a son of former jockey Chris Barrett, nephew of the late Melbourne Cup-winning jockey John Marshall, and cousin to current jockey Taylor Marshall, told The Thoroughbred Report they are a big believer in Hellbent and were rapt to get their hands on one of his progeny.

“We’re a massive fan of the Hellbents and we got in at the right time; they went ballistic just after we bought him,” Barrett said. “Yeah, we got the timing perfectly with him because they just started going berserk and winning everywhere.

“He seems to be continuing on in the same kind of vein as the rest of them.”

Hellova Nature is from Divine Nature (Casino Prince, who was winless in six races, but placed on two occasions). Divine Nature is a three-quarter sister to the Group 3 victress Sookie (Casino Prince) and she is the dam of Shadow Hero (Pierro) - a winner of the 2019 G1 Spring Champion S. and 2020 G1 Randwick Guineas.

Victory Vein (Mr Henrysee {USA}) is the colt’s second dam and she was a top-class filly/mare. Among her 12 wins were victories in the G1 Champagne S. and G1 Sires' Produce S. in 2002, which saw her named Australia’s Champion 2YO Filly in 2001/02.

“We're only a new syndicate company, but he was a pretty easy sell,” Barrett explained. “He was a nice compact yearling with a good pedigree.”

Hellova Nature jumped fairly and enjoyed a lovely run under apprentice Tyler Schiller. He sat parked behind the speed for much of the 1000 metre journey, before peeling off the leader’s back at the top of the lane and dashing clear to record a soft 2l win.

“He was very good, I don’t know if he beat much, but you can only win and he did it quite comfortably,” said Barrett.

“He’s a nice horse and we’ve got a bit of time for him.

“It’s good to get a win on the board with him as a 2-year-old.”

Barrett said the colt is still relatively new and will be given time to mature. “We’ll tip him out and he can go out on a good note,” Barrett explained.

“He’s still got a bit of growing to do; we’ll take our time with him, give him a break and he’ll come back even better.

“We think he’s a nice horse.”

It was unveiled on Sunday that Inglis has reinstated its renowned and highly successful Inglis Internship Program after a five-year hiatus.

The Inglis Internship allows the successful applicant to work with one of the most respected companies and prestigious names in the bloodstock world.

Inglis is a family-owned company that commenced operations in 1867, marking 2023 the 156th year the company has been in operation; incredibly, the Inglis family are still involved with running the business, with Jamie and Arthur Inglis holding roles within the company.

The Inglis Internship will provide a full-time position and the successful candidate the chance to gain an in-depth insight and understanding of all facets of the Inglis business and the global racing and breeding industries.

Inglis holds a strong presence in the two central racing states in Australia, with offices in New South Wales and Victoria; the successful applicant will spend time in each of the major divisions of the Inglis organisation.

The Internship will expose them to and learn from the Inglis bloodstock and marketing staff, and the hugely successful Inglis Digital department will be covered.

The Internship will begin in October 2023 and last 12 months, and there is the possibility of future full-time employment with Inglis at the conclusion of the 12 months.

The position is open to Australian, and New Zealand residents only, and the applicants are required to be over the age of 20 and be licenced to drive.

The Inglis Internship Program has a rich history of producing future industry participants with key roles in racing and breeding.

Morgan Thomas, who is now the marketing executive - media, PR and digital with Godolphin, was the last graduate from Inglis Internship in 2018, while the successful bloodstock agent James Mitchell served his internship in 2011 and later combined with his father Bill to create Mitchell Bloodstock (FBAA).

Gallery: previous graduates of the Inglis Internship Program

Other notable graduates of the Inglis Internship program are Peter Twomey, who has tasted much success through his Wattle Bloodstock (FBAA), and, of course, James Price, who, after a prosperous stint at Woodside Park, returned to Inglis to take up the role of the Victorian Bloodstock Manager.

The successful intern will have opportunities to learn from influential participants across the Inglis team and industry leaders.

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch encouraged all young industry enthusiasts to apply for the role, no matter their current experience.

“The Internship has been a hugely effective program for Inglis over many years, with graduates including the likes of James Price, Peter Twomey and James Mitchell, and we feel now is an appropriate time for another candidate,’’ Hutch said.

Whether you’re already working in the industry or studying anything equine related or simply someone on the fringes who has a passion for the industry and looking for a way in, this could be the role for you,’’ Hutch said.

“Inglis is such a progressive, dynamic business – it has to have been to have sustained itself over its rich 156-year history, so whether it’s learning from the extensive experience of the senior team or being part of the development of the latest initiatives, it really is a fantastic environment to work and learn.

“We have a particularly strong group of people at the moment across all departments, but we are always on the lookout for new people, and the Internship has traditionally been extraordinarily effective in identifying hugely talented people who develop significant careers in the bloodstock industry.

“This is an exciting and rare opportunity, so I encourage everyone who thinks this role might be for them to make sure you apply because even if you aren’t successful this time, we will have your information for any future roles that may arise.’’

To apply for the Inglis Internship, send a current CV (with appropriate references) and a cover letter explaining why you feel you are a worthy candidate for this role to internship@inglis.com.au.

Applications will close at 5pm AEST on Friday, August 18.

Group 1s

Eclipse glory for Siyouni's TDN Rising Star Paddington

Known for some time as “the first clash of the generations”, Sandown's G1 Coral-Eclipse proved the absolute epitome of that sentiment on Saturday as Paddington (GB) (Siyouni {Ire}) mastered fellow TDN Rising Star Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) to do it for the Classic crop. Providing Aidan O'Brien with the outright historical record of seven renewals in the process, the heavily-supported 8-11 favourite got a lead from West Wind Blows (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) and proceeded to glide through his most demanding examination yet.

Moving to the front passing two out, the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and G1 St James's Palace S. hero with his weight-for-age boon had first run on the G1 Coronation Cup winner who consented to put it up to her year-younger rival on the rise to the line. Ultimately, it was Ryan Moore in charge there with a half-length winning margin and another six back to West Wind Blows who completed a TDN Rising Star one-two-three.

“Tactics didn't play any part at all, he was just the best horse on the day,” Ryan Moore said. “He was in a good rhythm, travelled down to the two very easy and found plenty. I was vulnerable there in the middle of the track, but he was always doing enough and he's a legitimate high-class colt.”

This made it a dozen Eclipses for Ballydoyle, with it all beginning in 1958 courtesy of Ballymoss (GB) for Dr Vincent O'Brien. The rest of the original master of Rosegreen's haul was made up of 3-year-old colts and Aidan O'Brien has followed on that trend with some of the stable's finest in Giant's Causeway (USA), Hawk Wing (USA) and the aforementioned St Mark's Basilica. While the sizeable weight-for-age concession this early in the year lends an indisputable edge to the Classic generation, they still have to possess the right material to deal with toughened and seasoned opponents.

Aidan O'Brien, who has now usurped the legendary figures of epochs past and present in Alec Taylor Jr and Sir Michael Stoute, has known for some time that Paddington was made of the right stuff but nonetheless admitted to a degree of wonder in the winner's rate of progress throughout the past fortnight.

“He is a serious horse and Ryan was very confident going out, but when you have an older filly like that they don't lie down,” O'Brien added.

It is now a question of satiating the winner's appetite for competition and so inevitably Goodwood at the end of the month is on Paddington's agenda as he looks to follow the lead of the revered 'Iron Horse'. “There's a good chance he'll be back for the Sussex, that was the plan, but because he had thrived so much and John (Magnier) was so confident he'd get the trip he was here beforehand,” O'Brien said.

“He is quicker than Giant's Causeway and his constitution is amazing; Giant always ran at the same weight, but this horse is getting heavier which is strange and unusual, but he is obviously turning into a very quick horse. He's a dream. Ryan's (Moore) very excited about him.”

Verifying adds to big day for Justify

A couple of hours after Aspen Grove (Ire) (Justify {USA}) conjured up a 15-1 surprise in the G1 Fasig-Tipton Belmont Oaks becoming the second Group 1 winner for the son of Scat Daddy (USA), Verifying (USA) (Justify {USA}) validated a quote of 3-5 favoritism, if only just, to best Raise Cain (USA) (Violence {USA}) in the G3 Indiana Derby.

“He was just like we wanted,” said the winning jockey. “I waited as long as I could. When we turned for home, I asked him. He was playing with me a little bit. But when I went left-handed, I kind of moved out a little bit…. and he gave me another gear just to hang on.

“It means a lot. I've been here five, six years, been riding here long enough. To win this race, the most important at the track, it means a lot.”

Runner-up in last year's G1 Champagne S. off a successful Saratoga debut, Verifying was a highly impressive allowance winner at Oaklawn January 14, but might have struggled with a rain-affected track when only fourth at 3-2 in the G2 Rebel S. on February 25.

The bay endured a tough beat at the hands of Tapit Trice (USA) (Tapit {USA}) in the G1 Toyota Blue Grass S. at Keeneland on April 8 and attended the scorching pace in the G1 Kentucky Derby before wilting to finish 16th. He bounced back with a near-miss second to Disarm (USA) (Gun Runner {USA}) in the G3 Matt Winn S. at Ellis Park on June 11, leading into the final furlong before being outfinished.

Verifying is the 13th black-type winner worldwide and the ninth at the Graded/Group level for Justify (USA).

Westover powers to record-breaking Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud triumph

Juddmonte's G1 Irish Derby hero Westover (GB) (Frankel {GB}) failed to contend with subsequent G1 Coral-Eclipse runner-up Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in last month's G1 Coronation Cup, but regained the winning thread in emphatic style with a record-breaking performance in Saturday's G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.

Westover's journey at the highest level began with an unlucky-in-running third in Epsom's G1 Derby before gaining a measure of compensation at the Curragh. He emptied quickly when facing elders for the first time in Ascot's G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. at the end of July and closed his 2022 campaign with a sixth in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He faced a stiff task on seasonal return in Meydan's G1 Dubai Sheema Classic, but was no match for galactico Equinox (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}) and ran on with gusto after Emily Upjohn's gears had sealed victory at Epsom last time.

Looking ahead to targets down the line, the trainer continued, “I think we'll either stay at a mile-and-a-half or even have a conversation about going up in trip. The peloton came to him, but he stretched away in the last half-furlong. We'll certainly consider the King George (& Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot) and see how he is closer to the time. There will be a bit of a monkey on the shoulder saying is this a good idea after what happened last year, but we'll see. The Arc will be under consideration too and he ran a great race in it last year, but got stuck in the ground (when sixth).”

It was a landmark success for rider Rob Hornby, with it being his first Group 1 in the Juddmonte silks. “Winning a Group 1 in these colours is the stuff of dreams,” he said. “I was brought up watching these colours win prestigious races and to be able to do it at Group 1 level is the highest honour. I'm grateful to everyone who has helped me along the way. Ralph has trained this horse so well from two to three and three to four, so to win a Group 1 at four is so important. These are things you dream of, so when they come true you don't know how to think.”

Dabirsim's Horizon Dore is different class in the Eugene Adam

Horizon Dore (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) showed what he is made of in Saturday's G2 Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud.

Sitting off the early pace set by Knight To King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}), the even-money favourite who sports the Gousserie yellow-and-green brushed the Dermot Weld challenger aside with a 10.51 split from the two to the one and surged to an emphatic 2.5l success from Maniatic (Ire) (Intello {Ger}).

Already gelded, Horizon Doe could go the way of the Gousserie star Sealiway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}). “He's an easy horse to ride and has a big turn of foot,” Pauline Chehboub said. “We will travel with him, as he's a Group 1 winner in the making who is versatile when it comes to trip. I think he'll improve again and we need to brainstorm with our associates, but we'll see about the Champion Stakes in October. He has huge potential.”

Classic heroine Nashwa supplemented to Falmouth

Imad Al Sagar's Classic winner Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) has been supplemented at a cost of £20,000 (AU$40,400) to the G1 Falmouth S. at Newmarket on July 14.

Trained by John and Thady Gosden, the dual Group 1 winner captured both the Prix de Diane and Nassau S. after running third in the G1 Oaks at Epsom last term. A good second in the G1 Prix de l'Opera that October, she ended her season with a fourth in the G1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in the U.S.

Now four, the Blue Diamond Stud homebred was fourth to Group 1 winner Above The Curve (USA) (American Pharoah {USA}) in the G2 Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud in May, and improved to be second in the G3 Hoppings Fillies' S. at Newcastle at the end of June.

John Gosden, who also trains former Falmouth favourite and now G1 Sussex S.-bound Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}), said, “We have supplemented her for the Falmouth. As you know, she has been very slow to come to hand this year. The race in France brought her on a bit. Again the other day, she probably went a little hard early, but didn't finish off.

“She is in great form and she needs racing, and we don't really want to be waiting from two weeks ago all the way to the Nassau S. So, it is close to home and she's in great form and I don't think she'll have any problem with the mile.”

Charge It wins Suburban S.

Whisper Hill Farm homebred and 'TDN Rising Star' Charge It (USA) (Tapit {USA}) got his season back on track with a dominating performance in Saturday's G2 Suburban S. at Belmont Park.

“He broke a little bit awkwardly but recovered and put himself in a good spot,” winning trainer Todd Pletcher said. “He was in cruise control throughout. (John Velazquez) left him off the rail a little bit to keep him relaxed, but he was traveling so well and it was coming pretty easily to him, you don't want to take that away.”

Regarding a potential next start in the G1 Whitney S. at Saratoga on August 5, Pletcher added, “The spacing is pretty good if we want to consider the Whitney, which is obviously going to be a more difficult assignment, but he's always been a horse that's impressed us as a top-class horse. Maybe he's starting to put it all together.”

Good Magic's Reincarnate wires Los Alamitos Derby

Reincarnate (USA) (Good Magic {USA}), 13th for trainer Tim Yakteen after racing on a scorching early pace in the G1 Kentucky Derby, returned to the Bob Baffert barn with a stylish 2.5l win in Saturday evening's Los Alamitos Derby.

Reincarnate made the first five starts of his career for Baffert, led by a game victory in the G3 Sham S. on January 8. He made three subsequent starts for Yakteen, including a pair of third-place finishes in Oaklawn's G2 Rebel S on February 25 and G1 Arkansas Derby on April 1. He was beaten by 24.5l on the first Saturday in May.

“We used this race as a prep with (3-year-old champion) West Coast (in 2017) for the Travers and we'd like to do the same with this colt with a race like that,” Baffert said. “I told (jockey) Juan (Hernandez) that he was back to how he was when he won the Sham. It was very important to get the win with him especially when you know how good Skinner is. This race always comes up tough and it was a big win for the team.”

Cross Traffic's Maple Leaf Mel wins battle of the undefeateds in Victory Ride

Billed as a showdown between unbeaten sophomore fillies Maple Leaf Mel (USA) (Cross Traffic {USA}) and Dazzling Blue (USA) (Into Mischief {USA}), with the added bonus of Red Carpet Ready (USA) (Oscar Performance {USA}), who took down previously unbeaten Munnys Gold (USA) (Munnings {USA}) in Churchill's G2 Eight Belles S. on May 5, Belmont's G3 Victory Ride S. didn't disappoint as Maple Leaf Mel turned back a stiff challenge from Dazzling Blue and stayed unbeaten in five starts.

“It definitely gives me a big relief,” said Melanie Giddings, a former assistant to the winner's previous trainer, Jeremiah Englehart, but now herself the trainer of record. “She's amazing. She's won at Aqueduct, Belmont, twice at Saratoga, and Pimlico. She's pretty incredible.”

The undefeated Victory Ride winner debuted last summer at Saratoga, took the statebred Seeking the Ante S. and the statebred East View S. with a seven-month hiatus in between, and made both her open company and graded company debut May 19 with a gate-to-wire, geared-down joyride in the G3 Miss Preakness S. at Pimlico. Never headed, Maple Leaf Mel has led at every call in all five starts. Giddings indicated the grey will target the G1 Test S. August 5 at Saratoga.

Purton creates history

Australian jockey Zac Purton on Sunday broke Joao Moreira’s record of wins in a Hong Kong season, which the Brazilian set in 2016/17.

Purton’s win aboard Magic Supreme (Zoustar) in Race 5 at Sha Tin was his 171st of the season.

Earlier this week, Purton became only the second jockey (after Douglas Whyte) in Hong Kong racing history to ride 1600 winners.

Another juvenile winner for Lindsay Park

The Ben and JD Hayes stable continue to churn out 2-year-old winners, with debutant Rise At Dawn (NZ) (Almanzor {Fr}) scoring on debut at Werribee on Sunday.

The gelding - a $90,000 buy from the Monovale Farm draft at the 2022 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale - is from the Listed scorer Kay’s Awake (NZ) (Towkay) and was signed for by Lindsay Park Bloodstock.

“He was having a good little stargaze the whole way up the straight, so it feels like there’s good improvement to come and once the penny drops, he should be a really nice horse,” winning jockey Daniel Stackhouse told Racing.com.

Lindsay Park won this year’s G1 Blue Diamond S. with Little Brose (Per Incanto {USA}).

Price and Kent Jnr eye Eagle for Golden Path

The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained Golden Path (NZ) (Belardo {Ire}) has headed for a spell. However, co-trainer Price has revealed that the stable harbours Golden Eagle aspirations for the progressive 3-year-old gelding in the spring.

“Golden Path is about a 72-rater, and I think you have to be rated around 92 to at least get into this year’s Golden Eagle on November 4,” Price said.

“He hasn’t specifically trained off, so I think he will do well in four weeks, and then if you’re racing at the start and mid-October, his two runs will determine if he can win and get his rating up and get into the Golden Eagle, that’s the plan at the moment.

“Golden Path is raw and talented, and he did it easy in his last win, and I get a bit optimistic with them.”

Debut winner for Star Turn

On Sunday, Sunshine Coast-based trainers John Symons and Sheila Laxon saddled up a son of Star Turn, Winsome Star, at their home track in a 1200 metre maiden.

The 2-year-old colt, on debut, was partnered by Jaden Lloyd and won narrowly from My Spy (Better Than Ready) and Pinkus (Shalaa {Ire}) further away in third.

Winsome Star is the first foal from the unraced Congrats (USA) mare So Stylish. She is a half-sister to Heart Testa, who won the G3 Southern Cross S.

The colt was a $150,000 yearling purchased by John Symons from the draft of Baramul Stud at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

Star Turn will stand for the 2023 breeding season at Vinery Stud for $27,500 (inc GST).

Deep Field sires a double

The outstanding sire Deep Field, who will not stand the 2023 breeding season at Newgate Farm due to infertility problems, continues to produce winners on the track.

On Sunday at Hawkesbury, the Matthew Smith-trained Deep Voyage broke through for a maiden victory over 1800 metres. The 3-year-old gelding was ridden by Tyler Schiller and won by 1.03l from Rico Suave (Fastnet Rock). Deep Voyage was a bargain $30,000 yearling purchase by Darby Racing and Will Johnson Bloodstock (FBAA) from the draft of Goodwood Farm at the 2021 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

While in Victoria at Pakenham on the synthetic track, the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained Lacemaker scored over 1100 metres. The flying Carleen Hefel partnered the 3-year-old filly and was a dominant 2.75l winner. Lacemaker was a $100,000 yearling purchase by Roll The Dice Racing, John Foote Bloodstock (FBAA) and Jeremy Rogers from the draft of Middlebrook Valley Lodge at the 2021 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

Shailer appointed as Te Akau Racing Assistant Trainer

On Sunday, Te Akau Racing announced that long-term employee and senior stable foreperson Nicole Shailer has been appointed to the role of Assistant Trainer from the start of the new season.

Shailer was recognised as the New Zealand Stableperson of the Year at New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s Horse of the Year awards and has spent six years with Te Akau Racing managing the middle barn at their Matamata stable.

Te Akau principal David Ellis CNZM sees this promotion as a natural progression to Shalier’s career, “Nicole (Shailer) has been a great asset as a senior foreperson, and we’re proud to appoint her to the position of Assistant Trainer for our New Zealand stable,” Ellis said.

“Nicole is a true professional and always delivers to an exceptional standard in every aspect of her role. Importantly, as with Sam Bergerson before her, she brings strong leadership attributes to the position and is also especially skilled in developing and nurturing team members.”

Headwater’s successful Sunday

The Vinery Stud-based Headwater enjoyed a successful Sunday when he sired three winners across Australia. The John Symons and Sheila Laxon-trained Taupo Tiger kicked off proceedings for Headwater, who saluted at the Sunshine Coast with Jaden Lloyd in the saddle by 1.30l from Ahoy (Astern). The David Vandyke-trained 3-year-old filly On Hold, ridden by Ryan Maloney, then won in Race 5 on the Sunshine Coast. Rounding out the day for Headwater was the Edward Cummings-trained Strait Acer, who with Koby Jennings, won narrowly from Kangaroo Court (Snitzel) at Hawkesbury.

Headwater will stand the 2023 breeding season for a fee of $13,200 (inc GST).

Cepheus takes out Grafton Cup

The Matthew Dunn-trained Cepheus (GB) (Sea The Moon {Ire}) took out Sunday’s Grafton Cup with Aaron Bullock in the saddle by 0.18l from Cotehele (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}) and Barellan Bandit (Declaration Of War {USA}).

The 5-year-old gelding’s victory earned him eligibility for the $3 million Big Dance to be run on November 7.

Astute purchase wins on debut

The Stephen Lee-trained The Astronomer (Zoustar) won on debut at Grafton on Sunday. The 2-year-old gelding was ridden by Les Tilley and triumphed by 1.70l from Rox ‘n’ Rol (Spill The Beans) and Star Emblem (Outreach) further away in third.

The Astronomer is the first foal from Snitzel mare Wisdom Tree. She won over 1200 metres and is a half-sister to the outstanding Fastnet Rock siblings Passive Aggressive and Missrock. Furthermore, the gelding hails from the family of the multiple stakes victress Renaissance Woman (NZ) (Reliable Man {GB}). The Astronomer was a $290,000 yearling purchase by TFI from the draft of Raheen Stud at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. The gelding was later sold unraced for $32,500 to Antonio Aceti in the Magic Millions National Racehorse Sale.

Legarto working towards kick-off

The star New Zealand filly Legarto (NZ) (Proisir) is readying for an upcoming spring campaign. The rising 4-year-old is trained by veteran horseman Ken Kelso and his wife, Bev Kelso.

“We plan to have Legarto trialling on August 1 on the Te Rapa grass track, and then we’ll assess her,” Ken Kelso said.

“She’ll have two trials and then we’ve got an option of going to Hastings for the Group 1. If not we’ll be heading to Melbourne.

“Long term, we’d love to get her back to Flemington because she really excelled on that big, roomy track and that would be the ultimate. There’s a lot of nice prizemoney over there, the ownership group really enjoyed Melbourne.”

Glint Of Silver to resume in July

The David Pfieffer-trained Glint Of Silver (Rubick), who won the G2 Autumn S. in February at Sandown-Hillside, is gearing up for a pre-spring preparation.

“It’s a bit early but he (Glint Of Silver) has had a good break and he’s the type of horse that gets fat quick so I decided to have one crack at more BOBS money before he turns four,” Pfieffer told Punters.com.au.

“There’s a suitable race for him at Rosehill on July 22 over 1300 metres. I’m very happy with him and I don’t think I’ve got to the bottom of him yet.”
