Press Charges won on debut at Wingatui before he claimed the Listed South Guineas (1600m) earlier this year in his only other appearance.

“He’s gone to Hong Kong. We have to keep moving them and I’ve got a stable full of yearlings at the moment,” Foote said.

“Upper Bloodstock and I owned him and he’s gone to David Hall and is in work now.

“I had a Charm Spirit (Ka Ying Victory) yearling that I really loved last year and ended up selling him to David as well and he won the Griffin race on Sunday night and looks pretty smart.” - NZ RAcing Desk
