Moravia was given a textbook ride by Blake Shinn and shot clear halfway up the Sunshine Coast straight but Redford continued to find under the urgings of jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor and claimed the lead inside the final 50m of the race.


Redford is building an impressive record in the early stages of his racing career with Saturday’s win in the $250,000 contest taking his CV to five wins from seven starts and more than $250,000 in prizemoney.

Redford was purchased by TFI for $1.05 million when offered as part of the Arrowfield Stud draft at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

He's out of Starcraft mare Dream Date, a half-sister to Not A Single Doubt from a family which includes Champion 2YO of 2006/07 Zizou, G1 Flight Stakes winner Oohood and dual G1 winning juvenile Kings Legacy.

Arrowfield will offer the full-brother to Redford as Lot 335 at this week’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
