Flying Colt for Farnan at 2YO Trials

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 23

The most visually impressive winner at the official two year-old trials at Randwick on Monday was the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Farnan colt North England.

Ridden by Tim Clark, he made every post a winner. North England shot to the front and kept going to score the only thoroughly dominant win of the session scoring by two and a half lengths.
