Three for Unencumbered

Mark Smith - Sunday May 27

Making his career debut, the Melissa Dennett-trained King Percy came from midfield with a powerful finish in a 1000 metres handicap at Gunnedah on Sunday to credit the ill-fated stallion Unencumbered with his third first-crop winner.

Ridden by apprentice Louise Day, King Percy chased down Zoffany Magic (Zoffany) to win by a head with the favourite Onida (All American) a further four and a quarter length back in third.

A son of Testa Rossa, Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Unencumbered died at Three Bridges in March from post-surgery complications.
