Arguably the greatest chapter in the Autumn Glow (The Autumn Sun) fairytale so far played out at Rosehill today when the undefeated wonder mare scored a breathtaking victory in the G1 George Ryder Stakes.
Inglis Classic and Ready2Race Sale star Libertad (Russian Revolution) put the seal on a future stud career and scored the first Group 1 success in the colours of Trilogy Racing with a stirring victory in Saturday’s Winterbottom Stakes over 1200m at Ascot.
Breeder Greg Perry has celebrated many G1 successes over the years but admits today’s Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes win by Inglis Classic graduate Sepals (Calyx) is “pretty special”.
The first day of what is set to be the must lucrative year in terms of prizemoney in the history of Australian racing saw Inglis graduates to the fore of the main races.
