Fresh off celebrating one of his biggest successes in his burgeoning training career, Robert Wellwood will head to Randwick on Saturday in a bid to snare more elite-level glory.
The Cambridge horseman was home in New Zealand last Saturday when he watched stable star Prowess comfortably dispatch opponents by 3 lengths in the Group 1 Vinery Stakes at Rosehill.
“She was superb,” said Wellwood. “She is very exciting. She came out and looked a chance of winning, but not that well, and when she balanced up it was incredible the way she put them away.
“It is very exciting for the future. Off that performance it looks like she will be able to step up against the older horses and compete. It will be an exciting winter planning on what we want to do and where we want to head.”
Wellwood now ventures to Sydney this weekend where he will saddle up Mark Twain for the A$2 million Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick on Saturday.
