“He reminds me so much of his father. It’s just like having (Spirit Of Boom) back in the stable again,” Gollan told Racenet.

“We took plenty of time to get him ready and he put the writing on the wall in the trial, but I guess we just wanted to see some intent on raceday.”

Gollan indicated that Jonker will run next in the George Moore Stakes on December 5 on his way to the Magic Millions raceday on January 16.
