Such a big weekend for CAPTAINTREACHEROUS with his eight winners including three GROUP 1 champions! Melton saw the Finals of the GR1 $150,000 Vicbred Super Series run and won, and CAPTAIN took a clean sweep of the three-year-old pacers series and the colts & geldings two-year-old series. Colt Stormryder increased his star standing with a 1:53.1 victory in his final, while for the three year olds, Sahara Breeze won hers in 1:53.6 and Petracca his in 1:55.2.
Three year olds were successful elsewhere too – Treacherous Gall took a Success heat at Oamaru, Captain Bligh went back-to-back at Gloucester Park, and Micaitlen Denario continued her impressive form line, now nine for two and four, at Invercargill.
