The Queensland Winter Carnival is proving to be a happy hunting ground for Imperialist, who collected his second Brisbane black-type prize in Saturday’s A$250,000 Gr.3 HKJC World Pool Rough Habit Plate (2000m) at Doomben.

It is a very rare occurrence for a stallion to provide the trifecta in any race, let a lone a stakes race, but it happened at Scone on Saturday when The Instructor led home a trifecta for his sire Russian Revolution in the $200,000 Listed Luskin Star Stakes (1300m).
