After six months on the sidelines, Regal Might delivered a breathtaking performance at Mornington to claim victory in his first run of the campaign.
Returning on a tight-turning track with some question marks about his race fitness, Regal Might proved that class and determination can overcome even the trickiest of challenges.
Leading into this race, Mick Price and his team had prepared him beautifully, though Mick cautioned that he wasn’t yet at peak condition.
Today’s result showed that their meticulous preparation paid off in spades.
While the plan was to sit one or two spots off the lead, Regal Might had other ideas.
Racing keenly under the expert guidance of Beau Mertens, our boy pushed forward to challenge the early leader, Enright.
As they approached the home turn, Regal Might’s inexperience showed—he lost stride, wobbling around the turn as Enright pulled two lengths clear.
But class horses rise to the occasion.
Once Regal Might found his balance in the straight, he unleashed a powerful burst to reel in Enright and surged ahead to secure a comfortable, commanding win.
It was a ride to remember from Beau Mertens, whom showed tremendous faith in Regal Might’s ability, and a testament to the outstanding work of Mick Price and his team in getting him back to his best.
This was more than just a win—it was a declaration of intent for the campaign ahead.
With this thrilling performance under his belt, Regal Might has every reason to take confidence into his next start, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store.
What’s next?
Stay tuned as Regal Might continues his journey this campaign. If today’s performance is any indication, the best is yet to come!
Congratulations to everyone involved and a big thank you to our owners and supporters—this is just the beginning of an exciting chapter for Regal Might.
