Pocket rocket Sargent Doakes has had a fine juvenile season for astute Scone trainer Rod Northam, capturing his fourth win on Thursday in the $41,000 Springboard to Fame Plate at Grafton.
Rod Northam wants to train more two-year-olds and after providing the best advertisement for it has already targeted the lucrative Scone Guineas next year.
Rod Northam saddled Sargent Doakes to win the $100,000 Inglis 2YO Challenge on the opening day of the 2015 Scone Cup Carnival, Australia’s richest country racing carnival. The win marks the fourth Challenge victory in six years for the local trainer, who was elated about the result.
