Regal Azmon has his first taste racing in the city and rewards his connections with a scintillating win again under lights at Mooney Valley.
With this win he takes the scalp of Multiple Group 1 performer Rhinoceros.
At only his 6th start, Regal Azmon looks to be a very smart horse in the making as he is still racing at distances well short of where his breeding suggest he will peak.
He is a big horse that is bred to get well over 2000m and at this point he is doing all this damage at the shorter distances against speedy horses on tight tracks.
Rhinoceros is a serious race horse and was absolutely primed for this race and raced accordingly.
Regal Azmon was not entirely comfortable on the track and was a little bit like a shopping trolley coming around the final bend, but once he balanced up – he produced a tremendous burst to make up 4 lengths and get the win.
Congratulations to all owners
