In-form gelding Magnapal headlined a great day of racing at Caulfield today taking out the day’s feature race, while another three Inglis graduates saluted in stakes races.
The David Hayes and Tom Dabernig trained Petrology headed a stakes treble for Inglis Easter graduates at Sandown on Saturday when winning the Group 2 MRC Sandown Guineas (1600m) in strong style.
Peggy Jean got the Group 1 events at The Championships off to a tremendous start on Saturday claiming the $1 million Gr.1 ATC Sires' Produce Stakes for two-year-olds to the roar of a huge syndicate of owners on course at Royal Randwick
