Democracy Manifest Wins Again

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 11

Flying Artie has a bright prospect in talented boy from the bush Democracy Manifest, who made it two wins from two starts for new trainer Chris Waller when scoring easily at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

With a win and two seconds for previous trainer Kody Nestor at country tracks, connections elected to give the three year-old his chance in the big smoke and it looks like a good decision.

Democracy Manifesto bolted away with a Benchmark 64 event at Warwick Farm last month and repeated the effort in the Benchmark 68 event today over 1300m.
 


Democracy Manifest was a $70,000 purchase by Allam Racing / Andrew Williams Bloodstock from the Network Bloodstock draft at the Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale.

With three wins and two seconds from six starts and prizemoney in excess of $86,000, he is a horse on the up.

Bred by Aaron Bott and Newgate Stallions, Democracy Manifest had been passed-in short of his $25,000 reserve at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale and was later sold on Inglis Digital for $11,000..

He is the third winner for the Melbourne winning Benicio mare Slippery Satin, a half-sister to Group 1 WATC Railway Stakes winner Great Shot and multiple Listed winner Gawne.

Slippery Satin was one of 202 mares covered last spring by Newgate Farm’s exciting young sire North Pacific.

Flying Artie stands at a fee of $22,000 this spring at Newgate.
