Paul Preusker’s 5yo Artie Schiller gelding Steparty has found the drop in class to his liking after crossing Bass Strait, adding Wednesday’s $150,000 Listed Hellova Street Stakes (1600m) to his win in the Listed Thomas Lyon Stakes (1400m) last time out.
Capitalist is well proven as a source of fast and precocious winners, but it was six year-old Kiwi bred gelding Asva that became his latest stakes-winner when scoring a surprise win in the $250,000 Launceston Cup (2400m) on Wednesday.
