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.
The first big Group I mile event of the year for the older horses in Europe was run overnight at Newbury in the UK with the Lockinge Stakes (1m) producing a new Group I winner for champion sire Dubawi.
