Ballarat Double for Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom (USA) featured with a winning double at Ballarat on Monday with two well bred colts saluting, one a half-brother to Weekend Hussler and the other from a daughter of Alinghi.

The Darren Weir trained Peaceful State scored by a neck over 1400 metres as favourite at his second start and with a big margin back to the third horse it looked like the first two were well above their rivals.

In the next race it was the turn of the Robert Smerdon trained colt Roar, who carried the Champion Thoroughbreds colours to a length victory over 1600 metres at his fourth start.
