What a sight Brave Star gave today!
We’ve had to be patient, but now we’re starting to see just how talented this galloper is.
Brave Star did not disappoint.
He beat a very good horse today, one that was full of confidence and going for a fifth straight win.
If you listen carefully as they cross the line, you can hear a big groan from the crowd, shocked by how Brave Star stormed home to beat the runaway $1.50 favourite, which had a four-length lead and was cruising with only 300m to go.
Huge credit goes to Lachlan.
He rode Brave Star to perfection, breaking well and sitting just a length or two from the lead at the turn.
He then veered him out, balanced him in the straight, and improvised to get Brave Star focused on chasing down the favourite, even when he was out alone in no man’s land halfway up the straight.
A most thrilling and exciting win!
Huge thanks to the Stokes team for the amazing job they have done with our horse!
There are plenty more wins to come.
