Fit and ready to fire at his third start at Pakenham in the 1300m maiden, the Phillip Stokes trained Blazerro was a red hot favourite and led all the way to win by two and a half lengths.
 



Blazerro was a $120,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Bennett Racing/McEvoy Mitchell Racing.

He is a full brother to Sydney metro winner Fiery Red and is the fourth winner from Blazing Snitzel, a winning half-sister to stakes-winner Excuse My French from the family of Group I winner Julinsky Prince and this season’s Group III winner Nudge.
