A terrific opportunity has opened up to become involved in untapped, Group 1 proven, imported galloper (& cult horse), CRAIG!
A southern hemisphere 4yo, Craig has raced just 8 times in Australia (9 starts overall) and has a record that reads 9: 3-3-2. He has a current rating of 103*.
Craig was a dominant 4.25L winner at Bendigo at his Australian debut before being a certainty beaten at Flemington at his next start, running a scintillating 22.5s L400m sectional when held up to the furlong.
He would go on to turn the tables at his third Australian start, winning a hot form 3yo $150K race defeating Rise At Dawn (a 7-time winner and 98 rater).
Off a brief freshen up, Craig toyed with his rivals upon resumption at Caulfield in a 1400m BM78 before being a hard-luck story and without doubt run of the day in the G3 Sandown Stakes behind Desert Lightning.
Craig's peak would come in the G1 Toorak Handicap (at his 7th local start) when running 2nd to Antino. This performance highlighted his Group 1 ability and earmarked him as a top-class and future WFA galloper for the seasons ahead.
Craig is due back in to work with trainers Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young at their Cranbourne base on Monday 9th December and will be readied for Group 1 Autumn targets in both Melbourne & Sydney.
Craig is sound, clean-winded and has had no injury history.
