Newgate 2YO’s Shine at Grafton

Tara Madgwick - Thursday July 14

The Grafton Cup carnival attracts support from the city stables with the $45,000 Springboard to Fame 2YO Showcase (1200m) producing a trifecta for Newgate Farm sires with victory going to the Richard and Will Freedman trained Deep Field gelding Fashion Legend.

Fourth at Randwick on debut last month, he produced a tenacious effort at just his second start to score a neck win over two time winner Russian Warrior (Russian Revolution) with Deep Opinions in third place (Deep Field).
