Fifth Winner for Russian Revolution

Tara Madgwick - Saturday February 19

Russian Revolution added another debut winner to his tally when Fission proved too strong at Bendigo on Saturday for Extreme Choice colt Prado, who started a short priced favourite.

Trained by Robbie Griffiths and Matt de Kock, Fission powered clear to win the 1000m maiden by a length and a quarter.
 



Fission was retained to race by Gleneagles Stud and is a half-brother to Group III winner Defcon being the fifth winner from five foals to race from good producer Nuclear Force.

Russian Revolution

Fission is the fifth winner for Newgate Farm's Russian Revolution, who is the leading first season sire by earnings and now equal leader by winners.
