The Grafton Carnival kicked off today and we couldn’t be prouder of how our runners performed. We had a double and more importantly DEEP OPINIONS Impact Thoroughbreds qualified for the Grafton Guinea after winning the prelude.
Thank you to all of our staff who were stretched to the limit this weekend. We got the job done.
We tested DEEP OPINIONS at Midway level last start and she was solid, chasing hard for 7th. But today dropping in grade the Deep Field filly went bang at Grafton, saluting by 1.27L. It was a classy Digger McLellan ride, allowing plenty of time for the 3YO to showcase her booming finish.
Third up after a couple of solid starts, and PROPEL MOTION adds a second win to his tally. From barrier three Digger McLellan found a lovely spot, running 4th on the outside. In the straight what a battle we were treated to with the first five over the line finishing within a length. But it was our Foxwedge gelding fighting tooth and nail to seal the narrow victory.
