Media Release - Sunday April 15

A horse named after his Lot number at Karaka has delivered a big black-type win for his connections, taking out Saturday's A$150,000 Listed Ladbrokes Galilee Series Final (2400m) at Caulfield.

Won Won Too(NZ) (Tavistock), who went through the 2016 Ready to Run Sale as Lot 112, raced in midfield in the staying test before creeping forward into fourth at the 400-metre mark.
