Leading the way was the Michael Freedman trained gelding Insurrection, who was sent out favourite with Zac Lloyd in the saddle and he did enough to run down Brudenelle to win by the best part of a length with Secret Revolution on third place.

It was back to back metro Saturday wins for Insurrection and there are more wins in store for his big group of Darby Racing owners..

A $150,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Ascot Park draft for Darby Racing / Will Johnson Bloodstock, Insurrection was bred by Bob Hannon and is the first winner for Marple Miss, a metro winning three-quarter sister to Cox Plate winning Group I sire Shamus Award.

Russian Revolution also added a new two year-old winner to his tally with a debut victory at Gawler for Mintulee, his 18th Australian 2YO winner of the season.

Russian Revolution will be fully booked at a fee of $88,000 this spring.
