Tara Madgwick - Sunday May 18

Kia Ora Stud’s Golden Slipper winner Farnan added a new winner to his tally on Sunday with a debut victory at the Sunshine Coast for Bourbon County.

Trained by Lee Freedman and ridden by Michael Rodd, Bourbon County was sent off favourite for the 1000m maiden and had to dig deep to post a half length win over Anders gelding Varejao with a big margin back to the third horse.
